Ginger How to make a cake house:

Draw a sketch first:

As shown in the picture, the dimensions of the 14 components of the small thatched house I built. You can design it according to your favorite shape. Symmetrical parts, such as a right-angled quadrilateral like the roof of the main room, can be made in two pieces, without distinction between front and back. However, for irregular quadrilateral shapes such as traditional roofs, you must pay attention to the front and back when cutting the biscuit blanks.

1. Melt the butter, add brown sugar and powdered sugar and stir until melted, then sift in all the powder and knead evenly. You can knead it a few more times to make the baked cookies stronger. Then divide it into small portions and press it into a bag, then put it in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes until slightly hard

2. Take out one portion and place it on a non-stick cloth. First roll out a large base, about 3mm thick, the size depends on your needs. When rolling out, you can put something of appropriate thickness on one side to make it easier to roll out evenly. I used a long ruler. Round shape is OK, square shape is OK too. Use a rolling pin to insert the hole to prevent it from swelling during baking. Directly transfer the non-stick cloth to the baking pan and bake in the oven at the appropriate temperature and time for baking biscuits. I use 170 degrees for about 10 minutes. Take it out and let it cool on the grill

3. Then use the painted and cut hard cards to carve out the wall ceilings. You can use a mold to carve small cookies into the corners. Also carve directly on the non-stick cloth, then move the cloth directly to the baking tray and bake in the oven

4. After the biscuits are baked, set them aside to cool

5. Take the usual Crush the pieces of sugar you eat and put them in the baked cookie window, bake them in the oven until they melt, remove them after they cool down

and assemble and glue them together with the icing sugar.

Go up to the roof of the main house first, because the front side is supported by the wall of the side house, and the back side is supported by external force for several hours. When it was almost dry, I went up to the roof of the side house, the doorpost and roof of the door. While squeezing the icing to adhere, you can use colored sugar beads to decorate as you like

4. Leave it aside for at least one night, and the icing will basically dry. In this way, the Christmas thatched house is ready .
