I've done it both ways, but have found it much quicker to use hot glue (no more holding crackers waiting for frosting to dry), and when you are making a dozen or more houses, time is of the essence! I just make sure to let everyone know if I have used hot glue:)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569345836078752499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630680333888371481.post-58614776473214262532016-12-04T10:58:40.189-05:002016-12-04T10:58:40.189-05:00Why not use Royal Frosting instead of hot glue?

For this event I used Royal Icing (this recipe: http://www.wilton.com/recipe/Royal-Icing), however since then I have started hot-glueing my houses together! It is much faster and when you make this many, time is precious. Plus, no one eats them anyway, and I am always sure to tell my guests that the houses are no longer edible!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15569345836078752499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630680333888371481.post-81065066769098659762013-11-12T17:31:53.719-05:002013-11-12T17:31:53.719-05:00What did you put the gingerbread houses on to keep...What did you put the gingerbread houses on to keep them stable?tberendzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13630331827770772123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6630680333888371481.post-57990578625683360852013-11-11T20:17:52.280-05:002013-11-11T20:17:52.280-05:00Wow! sooo cute and what a great idea!!!!
