Author's Notes

It takes about 2-3 batches of the icing to frost one regular house.

To make the house, I look at book designs, copy my pattern, then cut the pattern out, make the dough and roll out and cut out pieces: 2 roof sides, back, front, 2 sides. Then bake the dough, collect my candy, make a batch of icing, and assemble.
