Description
A festive and creative gingerbread house made with strawberry-flavored Pop Tarts, perfect for holiday celebrations.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 strawberry-flavored Pop Tarts
- 1 tube decorating icing
- Assorted holiday-themed confectionery
Instructions
- Arrange a sheet of parchment paper on a flat workspace.
- Position one Pop Tart vertically as the central wall. Align two additional Pop Tarts to the left and right of the central piece, edges flush at the base.
- With a sharp knife, locate the mid-point of the upper edge of the central vertical Pop Tart. Slice diagonally from the mid-point toward the top corners of each adjacent Pop Tart, creating two pointed gable end pieces.
- Place one previously cut Pop Tart atop a remaining whole Pop Tart and trim to replicate the angled rooftop profile, ensuring symmetry.
- Reposition the walls and pointed Pop Tarts to establish the house frame, placing the angled pieces on opposing ends.
- Adhere all structural walls together using decorating icing as edible adhesive. Allow joints to set before proceeding.
- Carefully apply icing to secure roof pieces atop the assembled walls. Permit sufficient drying time for full stability.
- Once edges are fully set, affix assorted holiday confectionery to the surface using additional icing according to preference.
Notes
- Ensure that the Pop Tarts are fresh for better adherence.
- Feel free to customize the decoration with your favorite holiday candies.
- This treat is best enjoyed within a few days of assembly.
