    I have what can only be described as baking PTSD from trying to make a gingerbread house from scratch several years ago, because after all of my hard work the roof just would not stick. So this is the magic trick I've been waiting for. Thank you :)

    So clever. Thanks for sharing. Of course with small children around, the hot sugar can be dangerous but the assembly can be done safely in advance. On the other hand, doing it slowly using icing with time to set allows for some magic moments with the kids and might introduce the concept to them that good things come to those who wait. This technique, however, is giving me some ideas on more ambitious projects. Thanks again 💙

    • @SweetDreamsBakeShoppe

      Those magic moments in my house, consisted of frustrated little kids "cursing" and flinging splattered chunks of collapsed gingerbread at each other!😆...the careful application of melted sugar really helped bring the good magic back this year.

    • @miscgloryofficial4527
      @miscgloryofficial4527 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I haven’t yet Freire meringue powder for icing but three different types of royal icing homemade plus a store bought one were fairly useless at sticking mine together and after 4+ frustrating hours and still no success I don’t think I’d ever use royal icing of any type as the thing to glue it together - decorate yes, glue it together no way! ❤

  • @ellieporter3182

    Made a gingerbread house from scratch for the first time this year. I used two methods to put it together. A video on Cityline used melted gummy bears, it worked but it had its challenges. So instead I used Julia Ushers royal icing "glue" and finally worked. Definitely going to try this method next year gingerbread construction.

      I, too, ended up with molten sugar on 3 fingers. This after I lectured my teen about how we really need to be careful with it because of how it will continue to burn you until you get it off. But we tried the spooning method rather than the dip one side method. I have mixed feelings on this process because of the burns. I'm guessing it takes practice. Our house is lovely though!

  • @miscgloryofficial4527
    @miscgloryofficial4527 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    This worked amazing ! One thing tho, unfortunately in Australia 🇦🇺 it is summer at Christmas 🎄 😞 sad 😔 and so today it was 82f degrees so after being perfectly stuck for a few days I noticed blobs of the brown sugar blobs on the ground and also had melted into the royal icing on roof and sides of house and sliding down front of house (not too bad tho)
    It was however still extremely stuck/strongly affixed.
    I am guessing most of the European and USA 🇺🇸 peeps who are in winter won’t have this issue but just thought I’d share (no we don’t have air con either so hopefully it somehow stays cold to Christmas)
    Also too, ideally, I would get on a plane ✈️, arrive in a cold state in USA 🇺🇸 for Christmas 🎄 and just make a new one lol

    Just found your channel…awesome tutorials!! And what a awesome hack. I’ve seen the sugar/caramel trick before. Using a frying pan on top of the stove, where you dip in the gingerbread pieces. Too hot, too dangerous. So wondering, if you placed your pot of caramel on a heating pad, on low/medium do you think the caramel would stay consistently soft/runny and not go so hard so quickly while you assemble?

    @justine132 ปีที่แล้ว

    This was a super quick easy way to glue all the pieces together. Unfortunately, my brown sugar also softened after a few days. Perhaps because I left it in the kitchen where a lot of vapor forms. It is also humid where I live. The roof slid off but the rest was still intact, so I reinforced it with royal icing. It's not pretty as the edges are both brown and white. It's still a useful trick!

  • @darlynegoo4251
    @darlynegoo4251 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey this is a GREAT hot sugar hack! I will say tho... to be honest...I didn't find working with icing that bad...(and its super tasty!!). Christmas music playing int he background. I avoided the whole "propping things up" (yeah...that gets old...) by giving the icing time to set beforehand? You have a heavy candy you wanna stick to the front wall over the door? Apply your icing in the spot where the candy will go and leave it there to dry about 10 mins or longer and work on other less gravity intense parts of the house. As the icing dries (just like some glues need a little set time before sticking) it will get waaaay stickier. Once its dry enough (but not too dry! Or just add/mix in more wet icing) wedge in your candy and the thicker icing will hold it! Happy Christmas everyone! :-)

    After I melt the sugar can I microwave it ?

      I would just place it back on the stove if it solidified too quickly!

    I'm trying this one. I just don't want to smell like burnt sugar indoors. lol.
    I really want to make a ginger bread house.

      If you are really careful with your heating of sugar you won’t get a burnt taste or burnt smell at all! (But err I let it burn sometimes by accident because I know I’m not going to eat it 😬). Good luck with it!!

    How much sugar did you use? Love this tip!

    • @SweetDreamsBakeShoppe
      @SweetDreamsBakeShoppe  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I always start with around 1.5 cups scant as you can easily melt down more if needed 🥰

    I don't have my volume on because it's quiet in the house right now, but is that the Disney World Small World village you have in background of gingerbread house? So well done! We reside near Disney World so are pretty familiar with it. :-)

      Yes! I remade the California Disneyland version for a gingerbread contest (back when we could still have those types of things here 😭). You are so lucky you live near Disney World. If I lived there I’m sure I would have a seasons pass!

    Do you add water when melting sugar?

    Do you add water to the sugar ???

    • @SweetDreamsBakeShoppe
      @SweetDreamsBakeShoppe  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nope! It’s just like the dry caramel method where the sugar will melt down into that consistency. 😊
