Use gel food coloring to tint portions of the royal icing for a vibrant, personalized touch. For added stability, consider using a hot glue gun (on the inside of the house only!) to reinforce the structure once the royal icing is dry. Get creative with your decorations! Use a variety of candies, sprinkles, and edible glitter to create a unique and festive gingerbread house. If you're short on time, pre-made gingerbread house kits can be a great alternative.
