We started with a pre-made gingerbread house kit, which was incredibly useful as it provided all of the gingerbread pieces, icing and decorations. This meant it was a lot less time consuming and our efforts could be focused on the fun part - decorating! The sweets included probably aren't the most festive, but they are girly and delicious which is all that matters in my opinion!If I'm honest, decorating a gingerbread house isn't as easy as it looks. The gingerbread pieces had markings on them to guide us when doing things like the door and windows, but piping the icing neatly was still quite difficult. However, it was really fun to do and I loved deciding on all the cute patterns and ways of spreading out the sweets, especially doing the roof.
Once all of the pieces were decorated, I then stuck them all together with the icing, which is normally done first but I found that it was a lot easier to decorate them when flat. It's actually really difficult sticking it all together as they kept sliding around and falling, but once it was all together it held well and looks really impressive.
Thank you very much for reading this blog post, and I hope that you're still enjoying blogmas! I'll see you again tomorrow for the final week of blogmas, so make sure you stay tuned for that!
Love from Daisy x
