Have you ever built a gingerbread house?

[blessedwith3boys]

Has anyone had luck building a gingerbread house? I've tried but never succeeded! What is the secret?

[slacomb]

I have but it came out of several boxes.

I have tried on a few occasions but I can't say they ever really turned out that great. It is very hard if you don't have the right ingredients

NO I NEVER BUILT A GINGEbread house. it must be fun

Many times, the secret is the right frosting. It has to be thick enough with plenty of cling.

Nope, but my sister got this funny ninja ginger bread house set, so I'm excited to help build it.

It's funny we tried to build one last Christmas it didn't get finished because every body trying to build it was eating it at the same time it was fun though.

I have tried several times, but it never comes out that great, lol...I don't take it too seriously though, and just try to enjoy the experience.

I have tried and failed so many times.

My daughter does one ever year, the icing is the secret to making it hold up.

Never tried to build a gingerbread house. It might be fun to try as long as i dont have to bake anything and someone else bakes it.

years ago, my sister bought a gingerbread house building kit.
the young kids, as well as the adults, enjoyed the team project.

No, I have never built one, but have seen some amazing looking ones, hope yours turns out well if you try.

No, I never built a gingerbread house before. They look like a lot of fun, but frustrating to build at the same time...I'll probably end up eating the cookies and candy without completing the house. I can just picture myself getting mad and inevitably scrapping the entire project all because a cookie cracked. LOL...

This couldn't have been timed better. My daughter and I just went to a gingerbread house party last week. I had never made one before. It was very challenging and ours kept falling apart. Apparently, the key is to use a TON of frosting.
