This mid-century modern gingerbread house is the winter baking project we all need.
When piping icing, continuously twist and keep pressure on the pastry bag for better control and to prevent icing from leaking from the top. For convenience, keep a large jar or heavy glass nearby to rest the bag of icing, making sure to fold the bag in half like a taco so that the tip and opening face up. If the piping bag sits unused, the tip may harden—just run it under hot tap water for a few minutes until it flows freely.
These trees might be the showstoppers of our winter wonderland design—feel free to make more so that you have an entire frosty forest! Under the layers of piped icing, the trees are made from ice cream cones, with a bit of icing in the tip of the cone to facilitate stacking. A thick layer of royal icing holds the spaghetti window panes, reinforcing the back wall. No one will see this side after the house is put together, but it’s fun to peek through the window at the stripy bedroom wallpaper.
In general you have a few options if a cookie piece breaks. First, you can glue it together with royal icing and let it dry overnight. If you glaze it the next day and cover it with sparkly sugar, no one will be the wiser. A second option is to remake the piece using any leftover rolled dough. Or, if you have any extra baked cookies, just cut a small piece using a serrated knife and make a splint using royal icing. Let dry overnight.
