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

    Hi Mai
    Love your gelatin window gingerbread house.
    In your template can you share a few of the missing dimensions? I’m super excited to make this tomorrow.
    Thank you for your expertise.
