Description

Piping icing is great fun with this kit. Along with the piping bag there are a few different nozzles included so you can mix up the shape of the icing as you decorate. With Christmas 2023 fast approaching, it’s time to get excited about what you’ll stash under the tree to surprise friends and family with on the big morning. MELT the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% POWER. Begin with 20 second bursts then reduce to shorter bursts as the chocolate melts, stirring well periodically. Only heat until 75% of the chocolate has melted. Building a gingerbread house is a classic Christmas tradition, and it’s a great way to bond with your family. However, if you’re looking for a twist on the traditional gingerbread house, Cadbury’s chocolate house kit is for you! What’s in Cadbury’s chocolate house kit?

Contains: Gingerbread house pieces, 2x gingerbread biscuits, pre-made icing, 3x bags of sweets, plastic base.

Similar to the Biscuiteers gingerbread house kit, the house pieces are blank. You're probably best off planning how you want to decorate the house before starting out.

As a team of chocolate lovers we thought this kit might steer us away from gingerbread forever, but that wasn't quite the case. It saves you a task if your gingerbread house kit comes with icing included, but you'll need to decide if the amount that's included is enough for what you plan to do. Contains: Two Cadbury Dairy Milk Bars, Two Cadbury Dairy Milk Winter Wonderland Editions, Two Cadbury Dairy Milk Winter Gingerbread Editions, Two Cadbury White Buttons Bags, One Cadbury Flake Treatsize.Decorating the front can be a little more intricate with edible figures, icing snow, a gingerbread tree and sprinkles to contend with, so if a child is building this house they may need a hand with that bit. The gingerbread houses we found easiest to build were those that came with a base piece included. These often have holes baked into them, which the wall pieces of your house should slot into neatly.

Our verdict:Although it wasn't the most straightforward to build compared to the other gingerbread house kits we tested, we loved how it looked and it was definitely the tastiest. It looks ornate and doesn't appear simplistic at all, with lovely textures and patterns on the gingerbread pieces and colourful, varied decorations included. Contains:Gingerbread house pieces, icing sugar, fairytale folk biscuits, fruit gums, chocolate buttons, hundreds & thousands, piping bag. It's worth having a look online at a few gingerbread house design templates if you're struggling for ideas. As we found with John Lewis' pre-made icing, the icing in this kit was runny and didn't hold the pieces together very securely.The decoration didn't disappoint, either. We found it fun and easy with plenty of fun grooves baked into the walls and roof of the house to help guide you. Consider buying a gingerbread house kit with a base if you want a speedier, stress-free building experience. The experience of decorating the house was intricate and took us a while, but we found it rewarding and were very pleased with the result. There's a brilliant variety of decorations included that come in all colours, shapes and sizes. As soon as the icing hits the gingerbread it'll start to dry and set, so you'll get into trouble if you change your mind about your decoration halfway through. 2) Look up designs if you need inspiration

REPEAT to form both sides of the house. Shape house so corners area as square as possible. Allow a few minutes to stand. If you think you might run out of pre-made icing, store it away for another baking day and make a large, fresh batch of your own. There were a few issues with this kit. We found the icing runny and difficult to use when constructing this house. There are plastic clips included for holding the base in place, but the wall pieces still leant inwards and we'd put that down to the weak cement. Gingerbread house building is an exciting activity, and it can be all too tempting to rip open the box and get to building straight away. However, we thought there wasn't quite enough icing to really go to town on the decoration. We'd recommend keeping the pre-made icing for another baking day and making a big batch of your own to ensure you don't run out.There are grooves baked into the roof and walls of this house, which are handy guidelines for easy decoration. Some of the simpler gingerbread house kits aimed at younger audiences tend to have handy templates and grooves pre-baked onto the gingerbread to help guide you as you decorate. We thought even professional bakers might get fed up with building this gingerbread house, though. You're instructed to hold the house pieces together in place for 15 minutes on several occasions, which we think takes some of the fun out of the activity. There's no piping bag included in this kit either, so we had to use butter knives when attempting to decorate it. But if you want your house to be a real centrepiece, you'll want to give yourself some thinking time beforehand to work out what you'd like to do with the included decorations and which patterns you'd like to pipe with your icing.
