Gingerbread House -Gingerbread House
Hello Dear Friends,
40 pieces for the New Year's Eve party at my daughter's school this year Gingerbread Cookies and also Gingerbread House I prepared :) You know classic gingerbread christmas cookies 3 measures of dough was enough for all of them. I prepared the cookies a day before decorating and waited for them to dry well.
I wasn't sure because it was my first time, so I bought the cookie glue sold at Ikea and used 1 tube of it. Keep in mind that those who will use it (it is not written anywhere on it) should first put it in hot water and then use it because it is almost impossible to squeeze cold. I closed the lid 3 times during the bonding process and put it in water.
Icing It is also very easy to make, the important thing is not to wait too long and add little water or lemon juice if it is solid, and add a little powdered sugar if it is too fluid. Also, do not forget to sift the powdered sugar that you will definitely use.
I didn't bother with cutting templates etc. I ordered my patterns. I have prepared a link for those who want or want to buy the materials I use. You can reach me from my Instagram stories, if you can't see it, don't forget to send a message.
For cookies, I used colored glazes sold in the market, but if you want, you can use the icing cream we prepared by taking it into different containers and coloring it with food coloring.
Love…
