How to make gingerbread house roof.

Cut into 1x2 inch pieces to create a gingerbread house roof. The gingerbread house facade. Bake as directed in the recipe. And then assembling the structure take a few days if done carefully if you re pressed for time though there s a shortcut we love.

Roll out some gingerbread dough and cut into strips slightly wider than the roof of the gingerbread house. Two rectangles 3 by 5 1 2 inches for the roof. To start applying your gum tiles squeeze two rows of frosting for every row of tiles. Let cool and then rub powdered sugar on the thatched roof pieces.

Place a long gingerbread house side in the other bead of royal icing. Instead of four walls and a roof a gingerbread house facade. Set the gingerbread house gable side in the bead of royal icing. Then carefully start attaching the gum to the roof allowing the frosting to act as a glue.

Building a gingerbread house doesn t have to be a complicated affair but one thing it does require is time. With every row that you add let the tile slightly overlap the row of tiles below. Hold for a few seconds and release. While holding the pieces with one hand run a bead of royal icing up the seam making sure all gaps are covered.

Start at the bottom of one side of the roof. Two rectangles 3 by 5 inches to make the front and back of the house.
