My
girls and two of their friends spent a morning at our place decorating
gingerbread houses last week. The Gingerbread was bought as a kit from Ikea.
The icing was royal icing which we made ourselves. The recipe with plenty of
icing for four houses is given below.
Royal Icing
8 egg whites
2 tspns lemon juice
2kg Icing Sugar

Place egg whites and juice in mix master on low speed
and gradually add icing sugar until all combined and glossy.
We
piped using zip lock bags with the corners snipped and some plastic piping
squeeze bottles from a biscuit kit.
The
girls shopped for their own lollies and chose boiled lollies, red liquorice,
chocolate freckles, smarties, mint leaves and jubes. We also had little shiny
balls (cachous).
These
are the finished products!
