    "I don't think that's the proper way to do it, but that's the only way I can figure out how to do it right now" sums up a significant amount of my adult life.

    I love this Jamie! I live 15 minutes from this house and you did it justice. Also, you can melt down crushed lemon drops or a simple sugar candy to pour into the window frames once the second baking is done, then let cool, especially if you are using a Silpat mat.

    For next time, an excellent “glue” is simply melted sugar. It hardens quickly but you do need to be careful about getting burned. Melt the sugar in a large, flat skillet. Dip the edge of one piece of gingerbread in the melted sugar and then quickly stick the pieces together. It hardens and holds very quickly. You can also drizzle the sugar along edges with a spoon.

      I once had a roommate drop a pot of melted sugar on his feet because the pot was, well, hot. Pretty sure his soul left his body for a few moments, but somehow he got away without serious burns.
      The linoleum floor was still slightly sticky when I moved out a couple of years later.

    To make gingerbread at all is not easy. You definitely are quite advanced in your cooking skills! The cliché that if you put 10 000 hours into anything: you will get good at it - is probably not a cliché at all! Well done! And love your videos. You are my fav food channel of them all.

    Well done!! We do gingerbread houses every year. One thing we’ve found that really helps is using a microplane to file the edges where the pieces meet. So you can make mitered corners on the roof which makes much more stable seams. Hope this helps next year - can’t wait to see your next efforts! Love your channel!

    WELL!! I'd say if you had made the house as a competition entry it was worth 100 marks out of 10 if 10 was the maximum. You made an EXCELLENT job of that, Jamie. Really well done!

  • @NihilistZealot
    @NihilistZealot 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I'm seeing this after having followed the channel relatively recently... the sheer chaos Jamie creates on a consistent basis is so stressful, but fun to watch (mostly because it's someone ELSE going through the insanity, not me!).

    Okay, so I JUST watched your other gingerbread house videos this week and I was going to comment and ask if you were going to make one this year, but I didn’t want to trigger anything bad feelings or PTSD if you know what I mean… I’m SOOO excited to see you made another one - YAY!! I already liked the video without even seeing it!
    Okay, watching now… 🙂🙃🙂
    Edit: INCREDIBLE JOB!! Omg - seriously, that is awesome! So fun to watch!!

  • @13_13k

    It started when I was about 12 years old and every year, over Thanksgiving weekend, my mom and I and my siblings (all older than me) would make a gingerbread house with all kinds of candy, gumdrops, cookies, real gingerbread cookie, and we did that every year for the next 20 years and then my mom started doing it with the grandkids every year.
    It can be a lot of work depending on the detail and the size of the house. Of course every bit of the house was edible but after it sat around for a couple weeks some of the pieces would get stale.
    We got very inventive with the details. It always turned out really cool looking and it inspired friends to do their own. We always had the best one.

    This is first cooking video I've seen that uses Bach as background music while rolling out dough for gingerbread. But it worked. I think Bach would be pleased that his music has found its way into the baking world.

    I have sooo enjoyed your attempts at gingerbread houses. It brought back so many memories of my first one and I had similar problems. After so many pieces falling off and icing getting all over everything I found a magic ingredient and never had another structure failure. It's Wiltons meringue powder. You add it to your icing and will start to harden faster and become rock hard. Hope to see a new gingerbread house this year.

    • @antichef
      @antichef  2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I learned the best gingerbread house hack this year. To assemble the house melt sugar and when caramelized dip the sides of the house in the sugar and quickly assemble. As the sugar quickly hardens it keeps the house perfectly together. No more need to wait for royal icing to harden while praying the house doesn’t collapse. You can always use icing over the caramel to decorate. It’s been life changing especially with small children that want to poke and touch the house before icing has the chance to harden. You did a phenomenal job on the home alone house it’s AMAZING

    @joysgirl ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I love your gingerbread house, that was quite an undertaking! I'd love to see you try isomalt for windows and caramelized sugar, instead of royal icing, to attach everything. I think you may have better luck with those.

    And here I was, so proud of myself for making [yet another batch of] cranberry chutney, buying and grating marzipan, then making gluten-free stollen so my husband won’t feel bad when we tuck into the real stuff tonight at a Holiday dinner. I am exhausted from watching this!!! and also quite happy that we Jews don’t make gingerbread houses or go through all the cookie baking and General Christmas Insanity. But I do love other people and their insanity, and watching you tackle the Home Alone house-with such gusto-and succeed, entertained ever so much. Mazel! 😁🥂🌲Merry Christmas to you and yours.

    As the season is approaching: if you are attempting another one this year, the Scandinavian way to glue the pieces together is by melted sugar/dry caramel. It is hot as H while dealing with it, by works really well as a glue. 🤶 (Our dough seems different as well, the pieces are generally much thinner).
