    Wonderful ginger bread you had there. Just input, don't whip butter for more than 20-30 sec as the cookies will be puffed up and eventually the house design is gonna be ruined

    • @jesshallock5346
      @jesshallock5346 Před 8 měsíci +7

      Does whipping butter help a cookie be fluffier? So, not good for something like gingerbread but maybe good for other kinds of cookies?

    Lovely! I noticed that on of the edges of the dough had lifted on one of the bigger pieces. A tip to prevent this is to put another baking sheet on top of the dough after you take it out of the oven, the weight will keep it flat :)

    What a wonderful teaching video. You are an excellent teacher and you give so many great tips and suggestions along the way. I’m so glad that I found this video on YTube, because the only previous experience I have had with making and decorating a gingerbread house was with a cheap kit that I found at my local drugstore. I purchased one of these premade kits at the last minute as a fun project to do with one of my clients. I am a caregiver for older seniors and I am constantly looking for fun projects for us to do together. This is not only fun, but it also keeps their minds stimulated and gives them something fulfilling to accomplish. Anyway, this premade kit was I thought a good idea, but it turned out frustratingly difficult because it kept falling apart due to the icing that came with the kit being too thin to hold everything together! And I realized too late that we should have decorated each section separately, let them dry/harden first, and then put them together using a better quality icing. Oh well, you live and you learn! Thanks again for the very enjoyable video. I will have to definitely attempt this again, but from scratch and not a cheap kit! Merry Christmas to you and your family from a new subscriber!😄🎄🎁🎅🕊️🎄

    This is my first time watching one of your videos. I’ve been in the Christmas mood and I’ve been watching Christmas dessert baking, gingerbread house making, and cookie decorating videos. Your video got recommended to me and when I saw the thumbnail with the icicles and the designs on the gingerbread house, I had to watch. I wasn’t expecting to see you sitting down and talking in front the camera about your whole process, but I enjoyed listening. I love the way you wrote in your script. I also found it interesting that you created your design digitally. You put so much thought and effort into making your house perfect and I’m just amazed by your process and the outcome. The house came out beautifully. The design is something I don’t normally see for gingerbread houses. The henna inspired design is so cool to see here. Keep up the great work.

    Hi! I will soon be making a gingerbread house according to your recipe, but I don't know exactly how much butter to add. Could you tell me how many grams of butter there are? One more thing, can you replace the molasses with maple syrup? This ingredient simply isn't available in my country ;(

    • @cynthiasealy573
      @cynthiasealy573 Před 8 měsíci +1

      Not likely, molasses is very thick and viscous with a unique flavour. Maple syrup, although delicious is far too runny to be used as a substitution. Try googling a substitution for molasses, you may get lucky 😊

    Curious what flour is best for Gingerbread dough ?

  • @TheGabygael
    @TheGabygael Před 8 měsíci

    in my country it's customary to "deck the halls" on Dec. 6th (and i gather you guys do it even earlier, late November) don't the royal icing's eggs get rancid in the meantime, is it advised not to eat the house or do you do it after the rest of the decoration or maybe even take eggs as fresh as possible? (after all we keep them outside of the fridge and the shell tends to be enough to keep them edible for a fair bit, at least before the expiration date)
    Molasse is not really readily availible over here anymore so i'm considering making a hybrid with a culturally more significant (for me) speculoos recipe and maybe after i get the han of it experiment with other types of biscuits to play with different colours (in a tudor meets alsacian townhouse, or represent the traditional varigated brick houses of my region) are any solid biscuit interchangeable in this instance or is gingerbread the most practical support (speculoos would be a bit more buttery and somehow softer same with shortbreads) does the molasse help with the integrity of the piece or is it "just" tradition and flavour
    edit :aaaand you answered my first question already,lol now eggs smells bad when oing off and i eat raw eggs every once in awhile (to be done at your own risk, fear of salmonella in eggs is not part of our common consiousness here, we tend to eat it in our german chocolate u.u)

    • @aispryn
      @aispryn Před 8 měsíci +1

      Don’t recommend using a recipe for a cookie that’s soft & buttery since it won’t be able to support much weight, honestly if you don’t plan on eating it use a recipe that makes a hard dense cookie, Some people use different gingerbread recipes for houses ( so it doesn’t fall apart) and for eating so maybe try a harder cookie. Use pasteurised eggs or meringue powder instead, maybe you could heat it over a water bath which makes the royal icing creamier

    • @thewonderingmind
      @thewonderingmind  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Hi there! I would not recommend eating this, especially if you are leaving it out for a long time. If you don't want to use raw eggs, you can use meringue powder!
