Making a Gingerbread House with Your Family

Video Transcript

"It's a good preparation for Christmas. It can bring the family together. So maybe you can share the whole Gingerbread house making amongst everybody. Even if you have a Granny around the house or small children. Everyone can have a part of it. Because it's not so hard to make it and you can use your imagination how to decorate the house or what to put in a certain place. So you don't need to follow these instructions one by one. You can have different decoration at the roof or you can have more little windows or maybe you can have a double door or you can put anything that you wish. It's just an idea. I mean the decoration part is quite quick and easy. The only thing that you need to wait a little bit until it dries. Because otherwise until it dries you can't stick the pieces together. And let's clean it up because then it will be very, very soggy afterwards and everything will be so sticky. Okay. Good. So let's wait until it dries. It depends on the texture but usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes while this decoration will dry. It depends on what kind of ingredients you put in and also how much water you put in. So if it's too thick then you can't press it through but if you put too much water into it then it will be too liquidized and it takes a long time until it dries and also it doesn't look very nice because they will go where ever they want to."
