Jason pulled pieces from several kits and picked out the best ones to create a masterpiece. How do you think he did?

    "Decorate it with icing before you put it together so that it's flat and gravity works with you and not against you." You know when you hear things that are SO obvious and simple and you just feel like the biggest idiot when you hear it? Yeah. That just happened to me.

      fruitoson I made a gingerbread house with my fiancé (an architect) over the week of Christmas and it was the worst thing I had ever seen. It was a lot of, “There’s no structural integrity with this icing,” (he broke the icing bag by squeezing it too hard) and he kept eating the gumdrops off of the roof.
      It was really funny.

      In Seattle for YEARS architects around the city compete in making gingerbread creations. They take months for planning and preparation. It's part of a fundraising thing. And when it's all over the gingerbread castles, hotels, ferries, you name it, are on display in the lobby of one of the fancy hotels downtown. They're awesome, intricately detailed, very original. I've brought my kids almost every year. Probably not around this year though...

    So, I am poor. I cannot buy another one. I bought a pre-put together gingerbread house and the factory workers out it together wonky. But to fix this, I will put it in the microwave, let the icing soften, and pull the pieces apart, let the icing re-harden on the individual pieces ( so that the soft icing doesn’t stick to everything) then do the icing details with it laying down. Also, I am totallyyyyy doing that door and window and lighting it with the light I used for my jack-o-lantern.
    I will update with how it goes.
