That's it. I used 1 cup each. Then tint it with tempera paint. Be warned though, I wasn't real impressed with it. It give a bit of texture and makes it less sloppy to work with. That's about it.<BR/><BR/>Jesse,<BR/>I've never made a gingerbread house from scratch. I read some recipes this year and decides that it would be way too hard. Getting the pattern right and cutting the cookie pieces out and sticking them together so they fit well....yada yada yada. I tend to like projects like this, but it just seemed like too much. The kit, though, was a cinch! Highly recommended! Except that the one we used had some weird type of candy to decorate with. I think some of them were mini jawbreakers. Not exactly kid friendly.MGMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06023305884132294675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9914269.post-41879885562028988962007-12-13T11:56:00.000-11:002007-12-13T11:56:00.000-11:00I've never made a gingerbread house but have alway...I've never made a gingerbread house but have always wanted to-is it hard?Delightfully Chaotichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05734344071924028314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9914269.post-11372896228556116172007-12-11T03:57:00.000-11:002007-12-11T03:57:00.000-11:00Your kids are so cute!
