Yesterday, me and my Dad had a go at making a gingerbread house. We knew it was going to be a challenge, but it was MUCH harder than we thought. We spent the morning baking the pieces and all seemed fine. When we started constructing, the pieces did bend a little, but we had all the walls standing up. However, when we tried to add the roof pieces, disaster struck. The roof pieces sagged inwards, they started to slide off and the walls collapsed underneath the weight. One broke in two places, so our second attempt at construction failed too.
So gingerbread houses are very hard to make. However, we did cut a few normal biscuits from the leftover dough and these turned out great! I think in future perhaps we should stick to making biscuits instead of entire houses. Have you ever tried to make a gingerbread house?
