I totally agree!!!! Who eats the gingerbread house after it’s been assembled by a bunch of grubby hands?😂 I love this hack! I’ll definitely put this to use!
Literally have never eaten one of those kits 😂 or any gingerbread house for that matter! And we started using the hot glue a few years ago… because you’re absolutely right - that royal icing is garbage!!!
Yes, I eat my gingerbread house, but I make my own real/fresh royal icing.
Editing to add: if you don’t eat your house, go for the hot glue! It’s a brilliant tip!
I'm German and we used to make a gingerbread house by, first of all, baking our own gingerbread. The pieces were then glued together with powdered sugar made into a paste with a little water. Nothing fake, nothing artificial and tasting soooo much better than any kit.
I wish this video was available 15 years ago. Every year we make those stinking gingerbread houses and they cause nothing but frustration. This year, with your hot glue tip, will make it an enjoyable experience. Thank you!
You did an excellent job with the gingerbread house. Thank you for your assembly tip.
I made small gingerbread houses from scratch last year and I assembled them with candy melts. It was super easy and we ate them that day and the next one. I have also heard of using hot caramel as glue but I would not do that because I am clumsy 😂. The hot glue hack is great if you are not going to eat the house! ❤
Nobody in their right mind eats that nasty, stale, dusty gingerbread kit house. This hack deserves all the likes.
We would make SMALL houses out of sugar cookies, using buttercream icing. And yes after the kids did all the decorating, there would be a binge eating of the houses
People look for anything to complain about. We’ve been making gingerbread houses for 50 plus years and never once thought of the amazing idea of using a glue stick. THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING GAME CHANGER!!!
I agree with you 100%. I have always wanted to make one; but the thought of eating it after all that time is gross! Could you spray it with a sealer if you want to keep it year after year for decoration? Hobby Lobby has a Nativity set one!
Merry Christmas! May Jesus continue to bless you and your family
Great idea! I usually melt sugar down and use it as the “glue” but always burn myself!
Brilliant!! I love this very clever idea! Thank you!!
This is BRILLIANT! I’ve used the kits with icing and no matter how thick /paste like the icing is…it either slides or takes forever . The grands were frustrated and crying . No, we don’t eat them. Eeewwwww! People being “triggered “ is silly nonsense 🤣Merry Christmas !!! Love your channel !
I totally 💯 agree with you!! I’ve used superglue for years to put together my gingerbread houses! I would let the kids use the icing in little bowls to dip the decoration to decorate and if they were not staying put - I would come along behind them and glue in place. So much more fun for everyone!! ❤
Glue gun is a great idea, i used white bathroom caulk so it looked like icing.
YES, you do eat your Gingerbread House. Royal icing does work. You just need to take your time.
I've never done the Gingerbread House thing.
I always thought they were Holiday decorations. A fun activity for kids to put together.
Do you treat it like a cake/dessert? decorate it, eat some then wrap up the leftovers and store them away?
I agree. We always just used more icing than the kit came with. Pile it in very thick and let it dry. The glue is good if ur not eating tho
In my opinion, I think your idea to use the hot glue gun to put the gingerbread house together is genius as long as it is not eaten! I have never eaten any ginger bread house either. I couldn’t be bothered to build one either. lol!
Oh how I wish I had seen this a week ago! I had 4 grandkids here and a kit with 4 mini gingerbread houses. I am usually so calm, nothing phases me but I was so frustrated with these houses. I decided ahead of time that it would be easier if I put them together and let the kids decorate them. I had the hardest time, I would get one side together and when I put the other side up the house would fall apart. Or when I put the roof on the entire house would collapse. I finally got them together but I swore that I would never attempt to put a gingerbread house together again. Now I'm tempted.
My kiddos are grown and seriously we have never eaten any gingerbread house. Actually we only put together one when they were little and my daughter and son were so sad that none of the candy would stay. I hope to use this great idea one day with my grandchildren. PS….people can be so rude and such coo-coo birds. You keep doing what you do and thank you!!! ❤
Good for you. What a great idea. If one likes gingerbread, best to go buy cookies at the store or make homemade.
I made a gingerbread house out of salt dough mixed with cinnamon and used hot glue to stick it together, because I wanted to keep it from year to year. I'm with you it never occurred to me to eat the gingerbread house that came in a kit.
No crying adults 😂 I'm getting my glue gun😂
Right?!😂
What weirdo eats their gingerbread house?!? It’s for presentation only people! This is genius thank you! Me and my daughter were just discussing an alternative. That icing literally made us not want to do it anymore. This is awesome bless you!
I am from Australia and we do eat our gingerbread houses. We make fresh gingerbread and every child gets their own house to decorate. We then wrap in cellophane and they can be eaten whenever. I am 52 and grew up doing this and all my kids too and now I can pass onto my grandkids.
I never eat the gingerbread houses that we make, because they are too pretty to eat. I love this hack!
I would never think about eating one either!
I made my own and yes it was a "royal" pain. Always did it when the kids were asleep. I did NOT use a kit as the so called cookie in there is disgusting. I used cans etc to hold the pieces together and we did eat it because with my cookie it was yummy:) You go girl and do what works.
Yes to the hot glue if your not eating the premade kit. For homemade I use a caramel sauce and I pre-assembled it for any one that was decorating. They just decorate and eat the house within 48hrs. We make ours the week of Christmas an display on glass cake cake stand with glass cover. No dust.
Decorate the house before you assemble it. Let the icing dry then glue it together.
Thanks for the great idea! If you don’t eat the house, you could also use puff paint to decorate instead of the icing.
Holy crap! That's an even better hack.
This is the best idea!! Man! We really suffered trying to wait for that icing to harden back when mine were littles 😂 and NO. They were not eaten 😂😂
I say to HECK with the Internet meanies! As long as you and your family are happy, go for what works for you.
To the Internet meanies: Spread a little more "Love & Joy" and less "Bah Humbug". Some leeway in these traditional crafts will not spoil the Christmas spirit. Be kind when commenting, even when you don't agree. LOVE is the reason for the season, kiddos!
Cool! I support you!!!!
Happy Holidays ❤️🥰😏💚❤️💚❤️💚❤️💚
I've never eaten mine, the kits taste gross. Homemade is good though. You do you!
I love the glue gun idea thanks It’s just fun putting it together & decorating but if you want it to be edible then for sure use icing to each is their own
Merry Christmas
We don't eat it! Love your hack tip! Gonna look for my glue guns😂
Glue gun for the win! Done it for over 30 years and my children & grandchildren are normal, well-adjusted people. I bet the complainers have never even made one from a kit. Who in the universe would EVER eat a nonfood made in China a year ago with an inch of dust?!? Ewwww!!! Homemade gingerbread is safer, but I would still never eat it as they are stale after weeks. We alway have gingerbread men to nibble while we decorate our fake food house kits. Such a fun tradition right after our Thanksgiving feast!
Nobody eats those things anyhow. They probably have the same shelf life as dry dog food, 30 years.
Love this idea. Wish I would have thought of this when my kids were little. I agree, who eats these?
Thank you for this tip I love it cuz kids cry and do not want to wait. So LOVE IT!!!!
I hear ya girl!! All the kids fingers, dust and what not over the month. I’ve never eaten one but lm looking forward to decorating one with my 3yr old grandson with ginger snaps on the side for munching. Maybe with some melted white chocolate to dip the snaps in😁
Ooohh, you just gave me a yummy idea! Gingersnaps and melted white chocolate.
I like gingersnaps, and never thought to pair them with anything. That sounds delicious! Thank you! 😃
We always ate the actual house. Of course, this was waaaaaay back when my mom made the gingerbread panels herself and my brother would stick them together with molten sugar 🙂. To be fair, many people will leave their gingerbread house outside for the birds and wildlife to eat once Christmas is over (and all the candy has been removed}, so hot glue still wouldn't be a good option.
I have made my own gingerbread houses and yes...the kids ate the whole house.
Lol.. you’re video cracked me up! I also can’t believe anyone would eat one of those. Not only are there 800 ingredients in there but it’s likely to break your teeth in the process. The glue gun is a great idea!!
Great Idea. Thanks for sharing.
I see absolutely nothing wrong with what you're doing and I for one totally agree with you I would never eat a gingerbread house that was store-bought that you needed to put together, maybe if I baked it myself I might reconsider but to decorate a gingerbread house I see nothing wrong with what you're doing at all
A 3D Christmas puzzle is all these things are...🤫
Absolutely brilliant!!! I wish I had thought about using glue to put one of these houses together! Then my kids could have helped me decorate it, which is the fun part anyway. And no way would I ever think we would eat the gingerbread house!!
Maybe I will try it with my granddaughters.❤️
I wish this came out last weekend. I bought a village kit that had 4 small houses, thinking that would be easier, not. Do you have a tip with putting crushed candy canes on the side of the house. I would only eat it if i made it fresh and wore gloves.
candy melts!
I think it’s brilliant! 💖
The internet needs to get a life.......
I’m with you! Who in their right mind would allow a child to put that dirty chemical filled cookie in their mouth!
This was hilarious. I have never done a gingerbread house. But till I saw this I would have thought they were meant for eating (They are by design made completely out of food?) lol. But you're right. With the time it most likely spent in some warehouse somewhere and all the chemicals involved in keeping it "Edible" for that duration it probably isn't something anyone should consider eating.
I wish I knew about the hack . My kids and I have never had a house stay together. And why would I want to eat a cookie that has sat on a shelf for a month?
Great idea! I would NOT eat that boxed gingerbread house. 🤢
I cannot believe I never thought to do this. My kids eat the candy off the gingerbread house, but they never eat the actual gingerbread. Maybe if we made our own, but we don't have time for that.
Awesome idea, I wouldn't eat it either.
I wouldn't eat it either. They sit out somewhere and who knows what touches it. So unsanitary. I love what you did to make it pretty and it actually holds together.
Great idea!
Great idea!!
Love your channel! Wanted to do this project with my toddler "neighbors " . Now not sure about it 😂. What if the kiddos use a brush to paint the icing to "glue" panels?
Don"t eat the gingerbread house that's just gross. Don't read the comments, people can be mean1 I PERSONALLY enjoy your videos
FYI: next time, try not to be so exaggerated in your dislike in the product
Yearly competition with family in another state. We don't eat ours and buy them when on sale so its probably stale by the time we assemble it. Will definitely use glue gun. Thanks
Stale might help. 😂Those things could chip a tooth! Good call, don't eat them!
I don't eat the house. It is just a decorative item for me.
Geez, the sidewalls go inside the front & back walls
Now the roof will be jacked up
When it comes to blowing up the internet over gingerbread houses, you have to ask one question first. "Did anyone die?" "No..?" OK, cancel the RED Alert. Take the DEFCON level down to normal... nothing to see here.
This is genius
Great idea have bought in the past and always ended up throwing them away after New Year's!!! Breaking out the glue gun!!!
Yikes! I know of no one who eats their gingerbread houses!
Great Idea 💡
Your royal icing pack looked damaged, like it was coming out at 0:16/7:28 into your video😮.
Thankyou
I have been for two years hot glue the house together bc I leaned the frosting doesn’t hold and they don’t eat the house anyways 😂
Never thought to eat the ginger bread from these kits either, I say purchase 2 - one that people can eat while making the other one for decoration (maybe make some really good ginger bread to enjoy). Your tip should not have been so triggering
Bahahahah!! This video is hilarious! 😂I love it! We made one of the kits and tried to eat it immediately after ... they really are as hard as a rock and taste like cardboard. Nope! Never again. It was cute, but the struggle of keeping that sucker together!! Ughhhh. IFFFF we ever make one again, I will be using my mini hot glue gun (twins!).
Same, we’ve used hot glue gun for years. 👌🏼
I always used a glue gun when we made them as a kid
Never made one at all, even has a child
🌴🌺 Nobody ears this anyway! The glue is probably safer to eat that the actual cookie that’s been sitting in warehouse for years.
If you want a real gingerbread house go ahead and pay hundreds for one okay.
Your Amazingly sweet and I love your demeanor.
Happy Holidays… Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 ❤
Even if I had baked it myself I wouldn't eat it after it sits around for weeks! 🤢
Why would you make a house out of COOKIES if you were not going to eat them? Just make your gingerbread house out of cardboard like people do when they make their own Christmas houses and villages.
Eww, people eat those things? It's sitting out collecting dust, and germs and getting stale?
No, thank you.
😂
No!!! We would never eat the nasty gingerbread houses. Ewwwwww.
Just make fresh gingerbread cookies. Or, gingerbread walls, roofs....
