Royal Icing - Gingerbread Houses

- 10-15 minutes to make
- Serves 3
This is the best icing to built your gingerbread houses with. Best to use an icing bag with tips. I like to use the disposable bags so I can simply toss out the unused icing. Be sure to assemble your gingerbread houses at least 6 hours before decorating to ensure sufficient hardening.
