Re: The Gingerbread house thread!
I'm just making simple soft gingerbread cookies.
But if you're gonna make the gingerbread house go all out:

Re: The Gingerbread house thread!
My parents are obsessed with Disney World, my mom's birthday is Dec. 23rd so we always go during the Christmas time, on top of all the other times my parents go throughout the year.
But on topic, The Grand Floridian Resort always builds a life-size gingerbread house out of actual edible materials, they run a shop out of it selling treats and what not. It's pretty cool to see in person.

And the Beach Club Resort has a carousel made out of chocolate. Pretty bad ass.

Tis true. I'm taking my girlfriend this year, she hasn't been since she was like six. I'm stoked. But again, that is only for 2009, so make plans for next year. It is also only redeemable on your birthday so if you can't make it on your birthday, don't even bother. And if you already have an annual pass or a pass you plan on using, they give you a gift card with the value of one day's admission that you can only use on your birthday, but it's still pretty bitchin.

I think you're looking for Royal Icing. It's like egg white based, you can find it in powder form in the baking section, usually.

^^^You could do that, or you could just melt some sugar. That shit is structurally sound.
