Gingerbread house - update
I bought a gingerbread kit from costco. Its already made, you just assemble and decorate it. We have never done this before so I have a couple of questions 😋
Are these ready made kits suitable to eat? Or are they style over substance? Meaning, if you do eat it is it nice or pretty grim? If you can eat and enjoy it, how long does it keep? It obviously won’t be in a sealed container, I can wrap it in foil but thats it. This is the kit: Edited at 05:02 PM. |

Well that was a disaster, although extremely funny 😆
Gingerbread was stale, sweets were cheap, nasty and un edible 🤢 All three of them gave up after an hour because it kept falling to bits 😂 |

I'm in the process now! Waitrose version, just waiting for dough to cool before rolling out and cooking... 🤞

We buy the mini ones from Tiger, they supply the flat pack structures for 3 little houses (usually get 2 good ones from it), you provide goop and sweets.
Nice crisp, tasty gingerbread... small enough to not hang about long too. The girls (women! 19 and 21 now omg!) are so competitive! Here is last year's efforts... Dd19... stylish, colour coordinated Dd21... throw lots of sweets at it. |

Too soft but is tasty, but we won't bother again in future. |

We also got the same from Costco and had about the same result as you when using the rubbish icing that was included. So instead I used my trusted gingerbreadhouse superglue a.k.a melted sugar in a pan - plus made my own icing. Still - not buying that particular kit again.
