My children also decorated (little mini) houses, but only using a kit and this turned out so much cuter. I LOVE the white chocolate suggestion.

It claims to be Father Pio's bread. I did some research about it and found out is not true. Do you know anything about this bread?Rosariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16528090324207491623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-37660585937806725742009-12-21T09:28:56.534-06:002009-12-21T09:28:56.534-06:00Gae,

I made the gingerbread and used the cookie cutters from a kit to cut out the shapes. It was about 1/8 to 1/4 inch think, I think. Canned frosting is the frosting they sell next to the cake mixes in the grocery store. Betty Crocker and Duncan Hines is what we have around here. It is usually too soft to do any kind of heavy decorating, but since it is softer, it is easier for the kids to pipe out and use themselves. It will stick things together and eventually dry to a harder consistency, but it is not a heavy duty frosting like royal icing. Hope that helps! I'm sure yours will turn out lovely!Charlotte (WaltzingM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12690056082240865041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-75244816444106832752009-12-21T07:42:58.823-06:002009-12-21T07:42:58.823-06:00Dear Charlotte,
