Graham Cracker Houses

This is Tessa's "gingerbread" house that she decorated in preschool yesterday. The parents actually constructed the little graham cracker houses the night before so they would harden in time and the kids had a blast decorating them with all sorts of goodies. Unfortunately Tessa consumed most of her decorations before the picture, but you get the general idea.

Here is the icing recipe if anyone is interested in making them at home:

3 Tbsp Meringue Powder (can be found at Michael's craft store)
4 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. Cream of Tartar
3 1/2 oz. warm water

Mix dry ingredients. Add water and beat 7-10 minutes.

Allow icing to harden on the houses for a couple of hours or over night.

*The Meringue Powder is very important it's what makes the icing harden.
