Another Gingerbread House

Here is another quick little gingerbread house I made with a few others. This gingerbread dough is actually from scratch and cut-out by hand. To do this, we whipped up a batch if gingerbread cookie dough, then rolled it out to fit on a cookie sheet. We decided it would be easier to cut out the shapes after baking rather than before. This proved to be true, the only problem with this is there may be more waste or not enough dough for all the pieces, as scraps cannot be re-rolled. Oh well, that just means more little pieces to eat and taste! This house is pretty simplistic, and just uses a can of frosting and some bagged candy. So the walls are just long pentagon shapes, decorated with licorice trip, jelly beans, colored sprinkles, and chocolate squares for doors and windows. We kept it pretty simple since it was demolished and eaten pretty quickly, but I though I would share since Christmas is fast approaching. Every gingerbread house is different!
