I am going to show you how to decorate a gingerbread house
I personally don't like the eat a gingerbread house
after its been sitting around as a decoration so I just buy the kits
and for the one time in my life that I can
enjoy the decorating without the the baking part that I actually
don't really care for I jump on the opportunity
I recommend that you decorate your gingerbread house unassembled
so you place your parts on a cookie sheet and you decorate
the windows everything before you assemble
it will be drawing and you will be able to handle it and you'll have
a lot easier time decorating flat then sideways
depending on the design that you want
the windows that are pressed into that dough may not work for you
so I wanted to have some shutters and so if I could shutters on the outside of
this it won't work so I remeasured
have the actual window part be this wide
so you can just draw a line to have something to follow
and we're gonna flood these windows blue and then I'll be able to come back
after and add my shutters
there we go
so those are my side pieces, for the front door you just follow
the press line that they do on the
house and outline that in white
icing and then flood it. You can build it up to get a little bit more for
a bump on it try to keep your icing inside that line though
and then once this is dry will be able to
decorate the door. There we go.
Now for the side parts I'm gonna flood the windows
I had remeasured the window size that I want
so I've got a very faint blue for the windows. This you probably don't want to have too much of a bump.
just and a toothpick to spread it out
or whatever you use
you go through all the windows
so that they're dry and we can at the window mouldings & the shutters and all that.
there we go.
here's the door I've got a brown EDIBLE marker I'm gonna
draw some wood grain on the door
just random lines
you can rotate your cookie if your angle isn't good
I've masked the house with tape
Scott towels and I'm dusting the door
with brown air brush
here might tape this hiding the door
I want the door to get colored so there
on that side. this way
and now we will put a bit of a gold colour
in the middle of the door
there we go
lets take off our masking and there's the house
a nice front door. A quick way to accent your gingerbread house
front door is with the a wreath
star tip and just a simple
circle and there we have a wreath
and you can drop in some red sprinkles
to get looking a little bit more festive
and there you go
you might want to just push around
the sprinkles they stuck a bit on my door the airbrush remains a bit tacky
and there we go
here are the two sides of the gingerbread house
one is completed I'm gonna do the other one while you're watching
so on the top of the windows I'm just doing some
shell dots. So your dot
pull dot pull dot pull dot that's it
I wanna have some shutters
on each side of the window I've got a tip in it is
a Ateco #48
and I'm putting the spiky
edges to the top I want to have a
different look you can stay a bit away from the blue
I'm working and red just to ensure that it doesn't bleed into my blue
you have got my boo boo stick sharpening
the edge but it doesn't look so pulled
so on each side I'm
and as you see it's hiding
the window square that had been punched by the manufacture of this
gingerbread house cuz I didn't want to make the windows as big as they
had made them so you can leave these crust
and then we'll be able to add the other little details that i did and
those little hearts and the little
wood there going the other way. Alright so here
this is the middle so I'm just doing a swirl
and that is it
and then
a dot
and a dot
now I need to work this way to make
my heart's so it is a dot and pull
dot pull to make these little hearts
gonna have to move my cookie something so that I'm at a right angle
so you can get the hearts
at this window so here
at the window frame
just a little detail but its cute you know
I was looking at shutters on cottages
they all seem to have this little cut out obviously can't do a cut-out
but I can add. Now I'm switching up my tip to a # 101
and I'm just going to be
adding a little line along the bottom
and top of the shutters, just like that
now here
it doesn't look right you can just use your booboo stick to fix it
you can almost sculpt royal icing when it is the right consistency.
you really can get it to go the way you want
just going to flip it over so I can
work
there we go. The kit came with a lot of candies but
I didn't really like the look if you don't want it you know
if you wanna to practice icing obviously it's not with candies that you're going
to do that. There are my two sides once this is dry
I'm going to just do a little of royal icing here
by royal icing on the edges have the windows here and I'll add some whites
and sugar to make like
snow that landed on the window how to do the chimney so here's one side
fashion I did on my show you how I did it
on the other side company both sides decorated some all I'm doing is some
random
by blogs
to look like the stones actually gonna switch 0.2
fire one so that
the law group look a little bit smoother to look like a stone
so
and you don't want them touching want them all random
shapes
leave a vote no space so they're not touching cuz we wanna have
the cement from the
from
me the stones their in between added after
with a toothbrush
a toothpick toothbrush toothpick this
flat memo
with no actually doesn't matter if it's not perfect this post look like stone
some stones are not perfect rehear minute
1
on the age me as well
there we go
so once this has had time to cross the bay will be able to test it with some
brown and black
synonym of slide the middle parts
you can grab it from the top turned to set it aside to dry
here's the chimney so you can start off with the brown
just because it's the lighter color and you're gonna shoot the brown from one
side and the black from the other so that we get a little bit misleading
get through color for the stones fact
machine here on inside the brown
can we go home how much how to draw from black into my hairbrush
sheet on the paper until you see it getting darker
to see please see the black half lip piercing around so that you're shooting
here we go
can use stones will look
more realistic and now once this is dry we're gonna come in and fill
communal areas with some white spot
from now on just with my white
coming in and filling in
yes
and this is to look like cement
no give me a somewhat realistic to me
the kick came with fat little gumdrop some cutting them in half
Khan a look if you flip them upside down kinda look like
tulips okay so here I am sticking on a candy so
who put on is rounding into one's
course I pick a side
where there's a bump on the candy in its not
became flip it over
swiped the icing off with your finger
for let's try again much better
I could feel it resisting and now
just a little bit of icing metal stick and gumball
don't think I have enough
and that darn a whole that little bomb that I had from before
yes affecting my gumball reflected actually
10 gumball in there there we go
alright now
I wanna add these flowers
my gumdrop garden
I'm just doing some stands and some leaves
and
fill the leaves as you go
year you a little drop provide the same
and then flipped the gumdrop around mer we know
a little flower
yes
space them I want be
turning out when this way yes when he ran to slower it a little bit
and the
don't worry about the bottom of the house that's always kind in some snow
be visible we found him to school after my house a bit so I can work
some
well i sync blue pressure flowers on
and then the weeks
out for the rest of the decoration really
do whatever you want I just a whole bunch swirls star
use fill in the area
your hearts taught for
we go from
your you
frame okay now
here I Y from the outside and I just couldn't be
swirl
and I'm built off
and then around this can you get a bunch darts
Heidi use down facing
selective look a little bit cleaner
and also there's a punch their from
makers me like a circle there
I wanted to hide every
now from the outside again
making this
other side
and again I'm just of a
swirl doing some
here come
royal icing polls
thank God and then I had done just dots all around it
I mean it's whatever you wanna do
done bigger and smaller
the edge of the cookie will be hitting with the roof so don't knock yourself
out to the edge
new now so they're somewhat the same
the only other thing that's missing is the door
wrong I nato schools
well i think im transfers so
stick one of those on here sprinkle them
put a little thought a voice saying we go
and now gonna work on this one because this is my better
there's always a front I like that one better so on this one here
we're gonna do a test I wanted you are
been overridden on the
on the reef to swirls
from there a ribbon on to Marie
so once this is dry again to put a little bit if i sync there just to get
some sanding sugar on the window cells
just one putting things together that have to stand up you really have to get
your icing right cross its gonna
make this absolutely nightmarish now you can see look
standing up holding up this is basically some and
edible cement you want has to be super stiff not parts stiff
wit alright now I've got some piping bag
with a simple round tip and we're going to prepare those gingerbread men
Ste can be putting together
the gingerbread house here's my
back I've got a pretty fact tippin
you apply your Symantec
you can be pretty generous and now
here all along you're gonna hafta count on the fact that you're cement its
is nice and hard hold everything
icing consistency is key here
no hurry and get your fourth side on
so that everything can kind of
be welded together
don't worry about looking at on this is mostly hidden
so the kids come with this base that kinda stands up the whole thing but it's
not really attractive
some you can avoid using it
you know we don't just leave this for a little bit
until kind of some instinct either
you can with your finger remove excess that you don't
to that you don't need after we can come in
type fast start a person thing something a little bit more decorative
there we go
so we're just going to let this dry
as for the house
she and now I've got 48 echo in
and Jess from the bottom I'm hiding the icing
I me and to the cooking I'm doing a shell
all the way up
this is just a little bit nicer to look at
then what fair and it'll help also
structurally

speech forgive the mess in the back
South for me
