Directions

Gingerbread House Assembly: 1. Cover your base with aluminum foil. Plan to assemble house close to back of prepared base to allow for larger front yard area to decorate. 2. Prepare white assembling/decorator icing pouch. Icing is used to put the house together, to decorate the house and to landscape the yard. Knead icing pouch well before using. Be careful not to squeeze hard enough to pop it open. Cut approximately 1/8 inch (1/3 cm) off narrower corner tip of bag (fig. 1) to make a small opening. Gently squeeze other end of pouch to push icing toward opening. 3. Wall Assembly. On blank side of back house wall, pipe a line of icing along insides of notches (fig. 2). With window-embossed side facing out, place side wall against bock wall so that notches interlock with each other at a 90 degrees angle (fig. 3). Repeat with front wall and other side wall. Allow icing to dry 10-15 minutes before starting roof assembly. Note: Assembly should look like figure 4. Side walls are embossed with windows, and roof panels are embossed with scalloped shingles. 4. Roof assembly. Pipe a thick line of icing along top peaks of front and bock walls (fig. 5). Attach one roof piece to one side of house peaks. Hold in place several minutes, as icing begins to set. (fig. 6). Repeat with other roof section. Note: allow icing on assembled house to set for 15 minutes before decorating your gingerbread house (fig. 7). Complete drying time is 3-4 hours. 5. Decorating. Use front panel image simply as a guide. Be creative. Plan varieties and placement of candies before starting to decorate. Use icing pouch to pipe lines and shapes on the gingerbread. Squeeze along the gingerbread panels as desired. Use a little white assembling icing to slick decorations on the house and in the yard.

Please read all instructions before starting. Adult supervision recommended. Kit Contents: Gingerbread panels, candy, and premixed icing. Check to make sure the kit is complete. Gingerbread Panel Preparation: handle all pieces with care when unpacking, as the gingerbread panels can easily break; carefully cut plastic shrink wrap away from gingerbread panels; lay gingerbread pieces out flat in a safe location. Assembly Equipment Required: Base - cutting board, cookie sheet, cardboard or plywood, approximately 13 inch x 14 inch (33 cm x 35 cm) in size and covered in aluminum foil. Additional Icing Recipe: 2 egg whites. 2-1/4 cups powdered sugar. 1/4 tsp cream of tartar. Beat egg whites and cream of tartar using on electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Continue beating, slowly adding all of the powdered sugar. The icing works best if beaten for 5-7 minutes. Notes: In the event that you experience any gingerbread breakage, repair with white icing. For freshest taste, assembled house should be consumed within two weeks. Let the fun begin.
