Gingerbread Bird House Tutorial

To make the Gingerbread Bird House you need:
Bird house cookie cutter set, or cookie cutter templates
Small Holly Leaf Cutter
Gingerbread cookie dough for building houses and other centerpieces
Small Batch Royal icing recipe
Food Gel Colorings
Piping bags
Bench Scrapper – for cutting out cookies

Pick a template right for you

  • I picked a free template online and then I resized the whole image into my liking and then I made simple plastic cookie templates that I used to hand cut my cookies.
  • I made them about  5.5cm by 6.5cm, (2.3″x2.6″)
  • I used this  bird house template, from Torrie Jane Blog

 

 

Pine Bird House
  • Flood all the cookies with white, or light ivory.Let dry.
  • Using forest green and leaf green  color your icing.
  • Pipe pine branches randomly onto the front, back and sides.Let dry.
  • Using brown icing pipe dots and short lines to create pine cone shape. Let dry.
  • To decorate the roof, use white icing, pipe the classic roof shingles pattern, while still icing is wet, sprinkle coarse sugar on top.
  • Let all the cookie panels dry before assembling the house.
  • Use stiff royal icing to glue the pieces together. I usually start with the front and sides, adding the back of the house last. Then I wait until icing dries and then I add the roof pieces.
