My friends and I are in high school and we are planning on making gingerbread houses this weekend. We bought the graham crackers, frosting and some candy (not sure what kind). Any better ideas?
How do we put the houses together?
What candy should we buy?
Anything edible that is more glue like and simple to keep the house sturdy?
Any better ideas for the house part rather then graham crackers, that doesn't involve any cooking or hard work to get?
What should we place the houses on?

For the glue use royal icing! it dries rock hard and is edible if you get the urge!
4 egg whites
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon lemon extract
DIRECTIONS
Beat egg whites in clean, large bowl with mixer at high speed until foamy (use only grade A clean, uncracked eggs). Gradually add sugar and lemon extract. Beat at high speed until thickened. NOTE: When dry, Royal Icing is very hard and resistant to damage that can occur during shipping/handling
As for decorations, Licorice, Skittles, Pretzels, gumdrops, Carmel squares, Jelly wreaths, Tootise rolls, There is so much you can chose from

Graham wafers/crackers are good progression cloth, there's a recipe accessible for a house progression cloth produced from peanut butter, brown sugar and an egg. you mix it nicely, positioned it in an excellent cookie sheet and flatten it out and bake it. It is going rock demanding yet is tasty... I reported the recipe on a previous mail. yet any nut allergic reaction victims would must be warned - to heck with it use graham crackers! you are able to continually make a rolled sugar cookie dough too. I made a gingerbread village with 5 different kinds of dough and a cake - excitement of cooking - Eggless, Milkless, all Rye Honey cake replaced into large to make the lighthouse - I did a seashore village with lighthouse, church, village, pier and a tow boat pulling a barge with Santa's presents on it.
