Preparation & Usage

Step 1 Massage icing pack until icing feels smooth and consistent inside. To start the flow of icing, cut a small opening at one of the corners of the icing pouch. Be sure not to cut the opening too large. Your icing is now ready to squeeze. Line the 4 canals of the simple start tray with a thin strip of icing. Step 2 Gently break apart the side panels and detach chimney from the front panel. Lay out the gingerbread house pieces on the table. On the reverse (rough side) of the front and back panels of the house along the edges, ice a thick line of icing. Step 3 Using the simple start tray, insert the back panel of the house into the canal, then press a side wall up against icing strip on the back panel. Repeat process with the front panel and other side wall. Adjust walls as necessary to make sure the pieces are joined together securely before adding the roof pieces. Step 4 When house feels secure, apply a thick strip of icing to the top peak edges of the front and back house panels. Gently attach roof pieces to the house peaks and hold in place until they feel secure. Then line a strip of icing down the middle of the roof pieces and continue to hold until icing sets. Attach the chimney by icing the diagonal edge and gently place it on one roof side. Let the house dry a few minutes before decorating. Step 5 Decorate your gingerbread house with lots of candy. Add a candy trim around the roof! Make a candy path! Don't forget to add your scene setters to make this the ultimate Candy Land scene! Scene Setters Have an adult help you cut on the dotted lines. Fold back each side of the base on the solid lines. Place scene setter elements around your gingerbread house to make a Holiday scene! If needed, use a dab of icing on the bottom to help your scene setter stick to the surface.
