Is anyone making "gingerbread" houses this year? Here are some hints for making them:

Add 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar to about 1 cup of frosting. You can use homemade frosting or store-bought. Cream of tartar helps the frosting harden so your house can stand up.

Here's a website that tells you how to make them with graham crackers using a milk carton for a base. If you use frosting that hardens, you can make them without the base. It's more difficult for little ones, but fun to do anyway.

Have fun!
