A Very Merry Gingerbread House!


I finally finished decorating the gingerbread house yesterday afternon. In between making coquito, kipes, and pasteles en hoja, I finally finished!

This year it has been colder and more humid than usual, and in this climat the icing takes forever to dry. I decided to make my gingerbread house covered with red fondant; therefore, very little icing was used for details, it was mainly used to glue the house. I found that using meringue powder icing, option II here, without diluting it after it's done, makes a strong icing that glues and dries much quicker.
