Gingerbread Assembly

For a basic gingerbread house with four walls: Place your gingerbread pieces on your base so that the four corners are touching. Apply a bead of "frosting glue" along the base, and along the sides of each piece. Stand-up each wall, connecting pieces to each other at sides. If needed, prop walls (soup cans work well).

Apply a bead of "frosting glue" to top side of each piece (where roof piece will touch). Place roof pieces on top of wall pieces. Hold for a few seconds until the frosting has set.
