Gingerbread Decorating Party Tip #1 Have houses ready to go for guests Build the bases of the houses so that work is already done. This way, your guests can get to work decorating as soon as they arrive and no one will have the bother of their house falling over. While gingerbread is the old standard for decorating edible holiday homes, if you need a quick and easy solution that will go a long way for a crowd of party goers, try substituting graham crackers. Anyone who has made gingerbread houses before knows that frosting doesn’t always make the best glue for keeping a house together. A great tip for creating sturdier ginger-glue is melting brown sugar in a sauce pan at low heat until it liquefies. Make several batches of royal icing ahead of time as well and your little guests can concentrate on just decorating and fun.
