VIDEO: Make a gingerbread house from a kit
How to make the kit

- Place the individual parts of the kit on the baked gingerbread dough and cut out the six elements that you need for your gingerbread house.
- Now first join the front and side parts at the edges with very firm egg white sugar icing.

- Now let the frosting dry well and decorate it afterwards wherever you think it is necessary.
