Building a standing gingerbread house can be a bit daunting......
but The Creative Cookier's cute 3-piece whimsical gingerbread house set may just be a way to
have a gingerbread house without the stress. :)
After cutting and baking the three individual pieces,
they will eventually stack together to create a fun house to decorate.

There is a multitude of ways to dress up this cute house.
For my first try, I've gone the whimsical candy-loaded route. ;)
Outline & flood each piece separately, leaving room for stacking.....and also windows.
(see photo below)
Add the roof, a door, and a top to the chimney in a contrasting color. (see photo below)
Allow the base coat to dry for 3-4 hours, and then
use texture mats (like the cobblestone mat) to add more dimension.
You can also add plank lines with a cake tester.
Decorate the roof as desired.
(Notice I loaded mine up with some pretty pink sugar pearls.)
"Glue" the chimney and front door panel onto the main house frame with some randomly piped glaze.
Then it is time for details......the BEST part.
For my house, I added outlines to the window and door, a door knob, and lots of snowdrifts.
Painting on a bit of dry bronze luster dust gave the house an "aged" look.
