Freezing a gingerbread house
by: Melene

I want to store a very large gingerbread house in my garage which is unheated and the temps can go to -30. Will it be OK?

Icing on gignger bread

I read somewhere if you are freezing something with icing, you should only cover it once it is frozen.

You can definitely freeze gingerbread
by: Kelly

You can definitely freeze gingerbread, both before cooking (in the dough stage) and after baking into gingerbread cookies. I'm not sure how royal icing holds up frozen or if it melts some when coming back to room temperature, but I would guess that it would do fine.

So, if you have a freezer large enough, you should be able to freeze a fully assembled house to make it last a few months.

If anyone has tried this, please let us know how it went!
