DIY Create-A-Treat Gingerbread House Kit - Easy-to-Assemble!

JoJo: Of course one piece came broken but my family has backers so it was easy to out back together. The frosting is plenty you will probably have left over and we did even after buying and using candy from the store. Overall a good purchase for a family competition.

Diane Pope: Two of the house front pieces came with the tips broken. We fixed them. We decided to decorate the sides first so it would be easier to assemble. The frosting was too dry and got increasingly hard to work with. I should have cut the bags open and re-worked the frosting. We made it to trying to assemble the pieces and the frosting was worthless. I decided to find my recipe that adds some glue into the mix, which may not be desirable to eat, yet still non-toxic, but a great way to keep them together all season.

Kindle CustomerKindle Customer: The gingerbread houses did arrive on time and unbroken.
I will be the first one to admit I am not the best at doing anything crafty.
However the box says the age range is 3 and up. I am not sure what a 3 year old could do when putting together the house. 1) The icing packet is somewhat hard to squeeze. 2) And it takes a little skill to put the walls and roof on so they are straight.

The house cannot be moved (for at least a number hours- so the icing can harden) once assembled. Our suggestion would be - once assembled put the house in the fridge to speed up the drying process. The house will collapse, see 2nd picture, if you don't wait long enough for the icing to dry. That house collapsed after waiting about 4 to 5 hours for it to dry and we tried to move it to decorate it.

I tried to do the "drip" with the icing over the windows and on the roof, as you can tell from picture #1 the icing slid down the house.
Also, there is not enough icing for your house to look anything like the one's in the pictures.

We did not try the gingerbread, so cannot tell you how it tastes.

We did have some good laughs while trying to put them together, though. But...

W. PegramW. Pegram: It’s okay… decent value for the money. I’m pretty good at gingerbread houses and I usually buy extra icing and candies to go all out. I didn’t do that for this kit and I regret it because I’m not thrilled with the result. The royal icing is pretty transparent even when it’s piled on. The nozzle of the icing is way too thick to get any precision and the icing itself doesn’t have enough body to hold its shape (so if you do any decorative icing it just melts into a puddle). There also just wasn’t enough icing to actually decorate it the way it’s shown. The candies are very cute and it did make the gingerbread house so overall it’s fine. If you actually like to eat these things, it tastes gross but I usually never eat them (decided to try it because I didn’t think it was cute enough to display)

Vanessa SchlaterVanessa Schlater: Product was packaged excellent. No breakage whatsoever. It did take a long time to be delivered to us. I believe it got lost in the mail for a while. Considering that, I thought it would all be broken by the time it got to us. They package with lots of cushion, so there is no chance for it to break! Plenty of candy to decorate. My kids loved making these! Would have gave 5 stars if the order shipped as first described when ordered.
