Pepperkakehus 2

December 9th, 2007

I just thought I'd post a picture of the Ginger Bread House, when it's done (or at least the front is done). For a base, I took some of the remaining dough and rolled it out, and baked it as a solid sheet.

If you're thinking about doing this, I recommend that you use egg whites, confectioners sugar, and a few drops of lemon to make the icing. Beat the egg whites firm, and then add confectioners sugar until you get a pretty thick icing. Then add a few drops of lemon juice.

I really thought the pine tree came out nice. If you can't tell, it's green Hershey's kisses, glued together with icing, and then decorated with some icing.

The door and path is made out of Andes mint chocolate plates. I'm already looking forward to eating the house :).
