![]() To show you how I made the icing in my new mixer, I finally made another video – here’s a how-to on making royal icing for your gingerbread houses: How to Make Royal Icing for Gingerbread Houses For the royal icing, I only had to make 2 double-batches and still have leftover icing which I’ll use for decorated cookies. Amount-wise, with this mixer, I only had to make the dough twice! (3 batches at a time). It had no problem mixing the 6 batches of gingerbread I mentioned earlier. Not only is it pretty to look at, it’s pretty powerful too. They’re why I haven’t posted in a while, but I wouldn’t have managed to even make them as fast as I did without my new, 7-quart bowl-lift KitchenAid mixer. I’m so happy I just managed to get them all done!

Making a gingerbread houses is a project that will take some time regardless of the size of the house. In 2002 I decided to design the biggest gingerbread house I could possibly manage to put together, and this web-site explains how you can make one just like it or a smaller version if you prefer. Over the years I have made many gingerbread houses, some of them bought as a self-assembly kit when time was short (they can be bought in any supermarked in Norway). In Norway the children often eat the gingerbread house when Christmas is over, whilst parents and other grown-ups will have the 3-4 weeks period the house stands uncovered in the living room exposed to dust in mind, and usually decline any offers of a taste. The tradition of making gingerbread houses for Christmas is something I grew up with in Norway, and I think I was about 12 years old when I made my first house, a small log cabin that threatened to fall apart throughout the whole Christmas period - but actually stood erect until my brother was allowed to use a hammer on it on New Years Eve.
