Why bother with the stress of building a gingerbread house when you can simply purchase one that’s already made? Seriously, who has ever constructed a decent gingerbread abode? Attempting to stack cookie pieces into a stable structure held together by nothing but sticky icing? It’s a wonder anyone thought this was a good idea! And if you involve kids in this endeavor, you might as well throw in the towel right now. Trust us, munching on the cookies is far more enjoyable.
The beauty of the internet lies in its ability to unite us through shared experiences, and collectively failing at creating gingerbread houses is certainly one of them. Social media is filled with tales of gingerbread mishaps that are sure to brighten your day.
Take this classic example, where one ambitious builder faced disaster when attempting to add gumdrop decorations and pushed too hard, causing the entire structure to collapse. Don’t worry; you’re not alone in this struggle.
Another builder’s house seems to have toppled due to an excessive amount of icing; balancing just the right amount of icing to hold everything together without weighing the whole thing down is a true feat of engineering. Honestly, it feels like rocket science! According to social media, it seems that nearly everyone encounters challenges when trying to construct a gingerbread house.
Fortunately, there are creative ways to salvage a failed gingerbread project. You could always add a dinosaur for a playful touch (absolutely genius!). Alternatively, you can stage a hilarious “vandalism” scene to lighten the mood around your cookie catastrophe. Or, of course, just do the sensible thing: eat the evidence!
Clearly, building gingerbread houses is no easy task. That’s why pre-assembled kits are available for those who prefer to decorate rather than build from scratch. And if you want to claim it as your own creation, we won’t tell a soul.
