Want a great seasonal tip? When you go to make your gingerbread houses this year, instead of making icing that doesn't taste so great out of confectioners sugar, instead buy a normal-sized container of white frosting and add 3-4 tablespoons of cornstarch. You won't taste the cornstarch and you'll be surprised how stiff your frosting will dry. Plus, it's cheaper.
Also, instead of worrying about using knives to adhere all your candies- simply spoon your frosting into some Ziploc baggies and cut a small hole off of one corner. Zip up the top, and you've made yourself a mess-free, less-hassle way to frost your gingerbread (or Graham cracker) houses.
Your welcome!

Thanks! That makes a lot of sense. We're planning to do gingerbread houses with the kids this year. I'll definitely remember the cornstarch trick.
I was thinking of making the houses on Christmas day, probably at Dane's since that's where the majority of the kids reside; what say you?
