Make your own royal icing. Gotta be "royal" icing. Give it time to set before you add the roof. I wish I could post a pic, I made mini houses for all the kids in the family.
Suggestion for next time.. i think if you put powered sugar in the frosting to make it stiffer it works.. I heard, but it's still a funny video HAHAA ^_^
butt my kindergarten brother came home with a gingerbread house and he used a cleaned milk carten and just put frostinng all over it and then gram crackers andddd then like candy [:
omg mine did the same thing sorta...it looked ok...then fell apart..then looked ok...fell apart again. well finally it stayed up...just crooked and long enough to get a "good" picture!
I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EASY!!!! the stupid icing sucks
Be quite!! Mel has as much right as anyone to put a video up about making a gingerbread house. iJustine may have succeeded in making her gingerbread house, but Mels video was way funnier!
This is hilarious. My boyfriend and I tried making a gingerbread house with my little cousins and the outcome was the same. The damn thing wouldn't stay together so we sat outside in 20 degree weather and held it together for a few minutes so that the icing would freeze... it stayed together but it looked like shit. Oh well, Merry Christmas everyone!
damn i wish my boyfriend would do stupid stuff with me like trying to build a ginger crack house!! you'll are so cute together! merry christmas mel & danny
this happened to me too hahah didn't get the same one from kmart but mine kept falling apart too.. i think it was the icing. we eventually just piled on cake icing so it wouldn't fall apart... these damn gingerbread houses!!
i love doing these!! the icing takes awhile to set though. so what i do is put icing down and set up the walls then prop the walls up with books while the icing is setting. lol. then for the roof i do the same. and then once it's all dry and set up you can decorate!! i guess i'm cheating!! =P
ijustine did one of these & after she glued/(frosted) everything down she put more frosting on the outside & inner part for more support... i dunno lol i wouldn't of figured it out either though ha :)
this made me die laughing!! hilarious!!!!!! i buy the already put together gingerbread house and just add icing (like pillsbury in the can) and then i add candy. lot less stressful!!! wayyyyyy funny video though
I remember in high school I helped my best friend make one for home economics class, it didn't stick together, but no one was going to eat it so she had some car glue i think it was, we mixed it in the icing and it stuck... no joke.
LMFAO! This was so hilarious! I think the icing was meant to be used like lash glue like let it get tacky before you place the gingerbread walls. But hey what do I know, I aint no professional gingerbread house maker! Hahaha. This vid is a total win I say!!!
the icings in the kit are usually pretty bad. last time i made a house i found a recipe online to make royal icing. it was really easy to make then the ginger bread house sticks together way better and the icing dries right away.
hey mel. First time youtuber and your my first subscription! I've been watching your videos for quite some time now and finally made an account to subscribe you. Love all your videos. Keep it up. And i'm still waiting for your teasing video :)
lol i bought the same one!!! I accidently dropped our one side of the house... but you have to let each side dry and have like cups holding the stuff up... let it dry, and keep repeating... it was a long process.... lol
haha i kind of think you have to make the frosting get tacky first like eyelash glue. a blowdryer works really great too and just hold it in place until it dries completely [a pain i know]. but hey it works for me.
lol we made gingerbread houses in my food and nutrition class to donate and the icing tasting like shit too! but we had to make it from scratch lol. ginger bread houses are harder to make than they look but maybe if you let the icing harden for each part first it wouldnt have fell? lol im not sure
hahaha that's too funny, =) we did it with regular frosting, like cake frosting. I think that's what the problem was, just use some thicker frosting. =) It worked for us. Good Luck next time =)
i'm watching this, in August.
