Making The Gingerbread House From Hell

  • The best way to celebrate the holiday season is baking a gingerbread house from scratch. This is the true testament of your patience. Can you successfully build this house before the house makes you crack. You start by making the parts of the house-shaped gingerbread cookies, then the royal icing. Get the structure of house put together and let it dry overnight. The next day you pretty it up with a variety of candy. With focus and determination this can become a reality. I wish you good luck and Merry Christmas!

    Happy Holidays, Everyone! I hope you enjoy my final video of 2019! This house may have broke me, but I'm confident I'll be right as rain in time for the new year. Thanks to all of you for watching every week, it keeps me going, and I have lots of exciting things planned for 2020.

    Hi Jamie and fellow watchers, after trying to make two walls stand up (unsucessfully) I baked a loaf cake for the middle and used that to prop up the walls. It not only made the structure easier to work with but provided extra sweets for the party. After that I always (3 more times) made a gingerbread house with a cake in the middle. I also stopped using any cookie with liquid sugar. this video made me laugh several times. thank you Jaime

    I so enjoyed watching this episode.. when my children were in grammar school I would make a gingerbread house each Christmas.. I would then donate it and the school would raffle it and the proceeds would be given to a needy family.. one year my son won the raffle , he was 9 yrs at the time and I could not convince him to give it back and perhaps give it to needy family as well .. it was a little embarrassing , even when I told him I would make one just for him . My pattern for the houses was printed in the newspaper each holiday.. the decorating was all in your imagination.. love your channel .

    I've been binge-watching your videos this past couple of days. Most people will use hot glue and royal icing (believe it or not) to hold the house structure. Gingerbread houses here in the US are made for decoration purposes only and not meant to be eaten. When applying the candy your royal icing should have been a thicker consistency.
    You're making quarantine more enjoyable with your videos! ❤

    It feels wrong to laugh at your pain but then again that's what the video's for, isn't it? Ah, the gingerbread house conundrum - do you use royal icing and have all the pieces slide apart if you don't prop them up, or do you use caramel and potentially burn the shit out of yourself? My wife and I chose the latter. The plus side is that it hardens extremely quickly so you have no worry of sliding pieces - holding pieces in place for something like 20 seconds usually does the trick.

  • @luxeford547
    @luxeford547 Рік тому +1

    When we made gingerbread houses in preschool we used caramelised sugar to glue the pieces together*
    Yes, we're that advanced here in Sweden!
    There might have been one or two responsible adults around what with the third degree burn-inducing molten sugar, but the thing inking me the most was why would anyone make a house of delicious cake and leave it on display for twelve days exposing it to aunt Lilly's cigarette smoke when we could just eat it now?
