How to Make Your Gingerbread House As Solid as a Real House

Bake gingerbread until it is dark brown and cracker-like – 35 to 40 minutes.

Air-dry it for two days before assembly in a low-moisture room. If you live in a humid climate, run a dehumidifier while drying.

If you’re not planning on eating the house, first make a foam board model and attach the gingerbread walls to that.

To achieve straight walls that make assembly easier, cut gingerbread with a pizza wheel.

To preserve the house for three years, coat the finished product with shellac and store in a plastic box with a tight seal.
