Or sugar, at any rate. We made a gingerbread house yesterday evening, from a Wilton's "Ultimate Gingerbread House" kit that was a gift. The kit contains the prebaked gingerbread pieces, three 1-lb. bags of icing mix, and mounds of candy (except for the candy canes, which were from my own stash). You do have to allow a day or so for assembling the house itself, as the various pieces need drying time in stages as you go. It was a bit hectic towards the end, because the icing stiffened rather quicker than we were ready for, but that was all part of the excitement. My piping technique obviously needs work, but the girls were delighted with the whole experience, and I can see already that it looks so irresistable that a few of the gumdrops are missing....
