In the Kitchen with Harry Potter: Gingerbread House

These creative takes on the classic gingerbread house will make your jaw drop . And not because Malfoy hexed your teeth into growing abnormally large. While the top and bottom section were setting, I put together all of the window and roof extensions which protruded from the house. I made each one of these, seperate from the house, allowing them to set before I attached them. I didn't put the roof sections of the window extenstions on until I put the windows on to the house.

Step 1: Supplies

Add sifted sugar and colouring while beating until desired consistency is reached. You want it a little stiff in order to pipe the outline however, if it is too stiff, add a little warm water. Fill a small piping bag with the icing-I usually make them out of baking parchment, and pipe patterns on the pieces once cooled.

Finish the broom handle with brown edible marker, draw wood grain texture pattern. Pipe a black rectangular sign with black icing (20sec) and let crust. Onto the black pipe number 9 ¾ with white icing (25sec). Let it dry and then finish black sign by painting decorative border with Aztec Gold Luster Dust mixed with lemon extract.

Basically match up all of your pieces and then trim the sides using a very sharp knife if they are a bit wobbly or misshapen. Then use the royal icing in a small piping bag as glue. Only put the roof on once it is fully set (which can take a few hours depending on your weather) and use straight sided cups to help support the royal icing while it is setting. Step 6 - Make royal icing by beat egg whites with lemon juice until foamy on low speed increasing to medium speed.

Let crust and then pipe the eyebrows line. Pipe little bit of royal icing into each gingerbread ball. Insert the wings and let dry for couple of hours. While wet press a piece of toothpick into the icing, on the wider side.

The bottom section was the foundation for another 2 feet of gingerbread, so it had to be solid. Bake that until it’s pretty stiff, I put mine in for about 18 minutes. Once you take them out of the oven, take the template that you made the shape from and double check that they are the same. Occasionally I would use the parchment paper as a sliding surface and take the pieces off of the tray and slide the parchment onto another surface. I let them cool over night especially the larger pieces because I wanted them to be really hard and stiff. If you don’t want to wait that long just absolutely make sure they have cooled completely.

Then paint each wing with Silver Edible Paint. Dip a clean never used make up sponge into a paint and then sponge the dry icing. Repeat until you are happy with the result.

This takes some time, so we put on a Christmas movie while icing the stone pattern. After the bottom section was dry, I added on the side window extension, I then “Stuccoed” the entire bottom section and the base with icing that had been tinted a light brown. Once that dried I then started to put together the “bottom” roof section. It also helps to keep the roof level or square(ish). Then I put icing all along the top of the "bottom" section wall and placed my two side roof pieces on.

I also used cans and jars to prop up the walls and the roof pieces while they dried. Once the royal icing does dry, it acts like glue and your gingerbread house likely won't go anywhere. But it's best to support it until it gets to that stage, to make sure it doesn't collapse into a pile of tragedy. I dyed most of my royal icing different shades of gray and piped it onto the wall and the roof pieces to look like stone.

I found this skull ice cube mold at a dollar store. Shape a small piece of gingerbread into a ball and press it into the mold. Then turn the mold upside down and bang it on a work surface to unmold the skulls. Bake in the preheated oven at 350 F for 8-11 minutes. I baked all the house panels and cookie decorations using my Gingerbread Dough for Constructions and Houses.

I used a very sharp paring knife to do all of my cutting and it worked out really well. Use this time to reflect or perhaps get inspiration and watch a Harry Potter Film. To enhance the scales dust them with brown petal dust anduse a dry food only paint brush to shade them. Flood each chimney piece with a black icing (15sec)and let dry.

Hagrid also has a number of windows, for pesky kids like Malfoy to peek through while Hagrid is trying to hatch a dragon egg. I made some windows small and some larger lattice windows, with the diamond-shaped lines. This handmade gingerbread Hogwarts express train is simply incredible.

Have yourself a midcentury moment with this woodland gingerbread house that’s an inventive twist on traditional kits. It has pretty pastel accents and candy cane pillars. Williams Sonoma has the ultimate gourmet gingerbread house kit.

The amount of details created by the frosting, plus the mini Harry, Hermione, Ron and Hagrid figures are beautifully crafted. Whether they are handcrafted or professionally made, the Hogwarts Castle and the Hogwarts Express train tend to me the most popular. However, there are new gingerbread creations every year. A young wizard who wears round glasses, has a lightning bold scar on his forehead and wears a striped scarf. I combined all these appearance characteristics in my side house panel design.
