I used Rose’s royal icing from the Snowflakes recipe (Rose’s Christmas Cookies).  I was so pleased that the houses were still standing after a bumpy ride smile

Cute and beautiful houses. I can’t believe this is your first house? And you made all of these? Amazing! How long did it take you?

Thank you =)

It took me about 7 days to make all of them: a day of making dough, 3 days of rolling the dough out and baking them with candy, and then the rest was decorating (piping outlines, flooding, construction).

I used the “Molasses Gingerbread Cookie Dough” recipe off Martha Stewart’s website.  They were prizes and items for auction for my church’s Christmas Eve celebration.  We raised some money for a local soup kitchen.

And yes, I was told that the houses were delicious =)
