Decided to make Gingerbread house from scratch and searched the net for templates and gingerbread cookie recipes. Could make two house templates out of the dough made. Icing was done with royal icing and used minimal decorations to depict two snow-clad houses with a snowman outside.
The effort taken was really worth it when the Gingerbread Houses were set up and the house is filled with the aroma of ginger and spices.
