I'm betting that house won't last a week.<BR/><BR/>We made a gingerbread house three years ago and had the exact same experience with the walls that you describe. I think I needed to put more sugar in the icing and let it harden more before trying to assemble the walls.

I worked really hard and even included a little candy person in the yard. The next day, my friend's dad asked why I placed a stick of dynamite in the front yard.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00294739836615377996noreply@blogger.com
