Question

How do you make a gingerbread house not fall apart?

Answer 1

1) take a tip from the hobby modeler's toolkit, and use 't-pins' to hold all the bits together until the icing dries. 2) try frosting the roof first, while it is laying flat, then assemble to the walls, and use those t-pins to hold it until dry. 3) use 'royal icing' instead of regular, (even if thickened).
