Kit ships fresh at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store kit at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, but keep icing bags in refrigerator until ready for use.

Remove cookies from sealed bags and place on flat surface.
Massage each icing bag in your hands for 1–2 minutes. Royal icing naturally separates, and this step will ensure it is blended.
Using scissors, cut small hole in straight line across tip of icing bag. If you cut at an angle, it will cause icing to curl out of bag rather than come out in straight line. Pipe icing onto a napkin or plate to test your technique. If it seems hard to squeeze out icing, make hole a little bigger. Wipe tip clean regularly with damp cloth or paper towel so icing comes out of bag in smooth line. Use icing to attach pieces of gingerbread together, decorate house and add candies.
Allow house to dry for 8–12 hours.
