How to Decorate a Gingerbread House:
1. Prepare Your Gingerbread House
If you’re using a gingerbread house kit, start by assembling the house according to the instructions. Make sure it’s sturdy, and the icing has dried properly before decorating.
2. Start with the Roof
Begin by icing the edges of the roof. Add your decorations using sweets like jelly tots, dolly mixtures, or even chocolate buttons. You could also use liquorice or pretzels for extra texture. Create patterns and alternate colours for a delightful effect.
3. Add Windows and Doors
Use icing to outline the windows and door, then decorate them with sweets. You can use small chocolate pieces or even fondant to add extra detail. To give it a frosty look, sprinkle some icing sugar or edible glitter over the window edges to mimic snow.
4. Use Piping for Extra Detail
To add a touch of elegance, pipe extra icing along the roof, window edges, and door frames. You can make them look like icicles or a dusting of snow - perfect for that festive touch.
5. Create a Festive Landscape
The base around the house is important too! Sprinkle icing sugar for snow, or create a little chocolate path with cocoa powder or biscuit crumbs. Miniature candy cane figures or a gingerbread family can add to the charm.
6. Add the Finishing Touches
Add final touches like edible glitter, sprinkles, or even a dusting of edible snowflakes to make it sparkle. You can also make a wreath for the door with small red sweets, like jelly beans.
7. Let it Set
Once you’ve finished decorating, let the gingerbread house set for a few hours or overnight. This will ensure all the icing hardens and your decorations stay in place.
