Granted, this was a kit, so I didn't have to try and bake my own gingerbread or try to get crackers the right size without breaking them along the seams. Still, getting the frosting to do exactly what you want it to is difficult no matter what age you are or how ready-made your house comes.
Remember when we were kids and a gingerbread house meant a milk carton covered in graham crackers? I'm quite a bit older than I was the last time I tried to make one (high school, actually) and my technique has improved quite a bit since then. Granted, this was a kit, so I didn't have to try and bake my own gingerbread or try to get crackers the right size without breaking them along the seams. Still, getting the frosting to do exactly what you want it to is difficult no matter what age you are or how ready-made your house comes. I actually got to make this for work so hundreds of people get to admire it every day, instead of just me and the cats. Although the likelihood of a small child ruining it by pulling off the candy is about the same as the cats knocking it over trying to get a taste. Merry Christmas to all!!!!
