Gingerbread Glass house

Happy holidays everyone! I tried to make a glass gingerbread house (or greenhouse?) from scratch this Christmas. This took me 3 days, from drafting the template, making the dough, baking the cookies to assembling them and decorating. But realistically, a few hours would be enough 🙂

Here’s the dimension of the pattern that I used. The gelatin sheets that I used were approx 8x12cm so I left about 0.5cm for the borders (which will expand as you bake)

Gingerbread dough ingredients:

• 200 butter
• 200g molasses sugar
• 5 tbsp golden syrup
• 2 eggs
• 650 g flour
• 1/2 tbsp cinnamon (4.5g)
• 1 tablespoon ground ginger (9g)
• 1 tsp baking soda (4g)
• 1/2 tsp salt (2g)

Royal Icing:

• 2 Egg whites
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• 500g icing sugar
