2Step 5: Decorate the House
The most exciting part of building a gingerbread house is decorating it. Use royal icing to adhere candies, sprinkles, and other decorations to the house. Chocolate buttons can make charming roof shingles, while candy canes and licorice create festive accents. For windows and doors, experiment with colorful candies or piped icing designs. Let your creativity shine, and don’t be afraid to mix and match decorations for a unique look.
