What is the trick to decorating an amazing Ginger Bread House?

Question

whether it's a kit or home made?

Answer 1

I've been watching a lot of shows on the cooking channel, from the regular chefs showing off their holiday baking to competition with chefs from all over and it appears the trick to an amazing Ginger Bread House is the frosting (for homemade ones). There is different consistency for decorating it to make it look like snow and one for the glue to hold it together (both are edible and made with powdered sugar but the consistency is most important).

I think more eye-appealing decorations have won on the competitions and the folks that sell these little goodies (I saw these on The Travel Channel). Here are some suggestions I found on the link below:

Decorations are only limited by your imagination. Try gumdrops, chocolate chips, peppermints, candy swirl sticks, licorice, M&M's®, Snow-Caps®, Red Hots®, silver dragées, nonpareils, sprinkles, colored sugars, Necco's® (good for roof), Frosted Shredded Mini-Wheats® or Wheat Chex® (good for a thatched roof look), candied cherries and fruits, Tootsie Rolls® (good for fences and tree trunks), raisins, nuts, mini-cookies, wafer cookies, popcorn, cranberries, and animal crackers.

I'm going to try a gingerbread house this year!
