She probably would have done a better job, but it was hard to squeeze out of the bag so I put it on. I guess I put the frosting on wrong because the pieces are all crooked and the house looks like shit.
So I can't even do that much less make a cake from scratch that looks nice.
the icing that comes with those gingerbread house kits is absolute crap. Technically you're supposed to put the sides together first, then let it sit & harden for 2 hours before putting the roof on, then let it sit & harden for another 2 hours before decorating. What fucking kid is going to wait for 4 hours to decorate a house. Not mine, they ate all the fricken candy before the walls were set.
I buy the giant gingerbread cookies for my grandbrats, and use canned frosting. Works out well that way, and I get to send a couple of pounds of sugar frosted suger home with them
