I made one las...Hi Tania - the house looks great!!<br /><br />I made one last year and had similar issues getting it all to stick together, especially as I only had one pair of hands (a second pair is really a major bonus) to hold it together and ice at the same time. <br /><br />I ended up 'buttressing' the house on the inside with bamboo skewers, including a 'roof pole' laid across the peaks of the end pieces to give the centre of the roof some support. It worked well in the end, but it was a lot of fiddling.<br /><br />I think I tiled the roof in those little fizzy lollies (some still leftover in the cupboard!) which was fiddly and time-consuming - next time I will use freckles, as they look great!!<br /><br />Thanks so much for the recipe - I may well give it a try if I can find time to make gingerbread this year. I won't be doing a house this time (too hard to find the time with bub, plus I want to decorate the Christmas cake) but would like to do some biscuits.<br /><br />Can't wait to see your Christmas table!Silverdragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06847160776964091049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6572244077856831005.post-2370479383748442742011-12-07T21:24:43.030+11:002011-12-07T21:24:43.030+11:00Amazing and gorgeous.

You are too clever and creative.
