Ingredients

  • gingerbread house kit
  • royal icing
  • green coconut sprinkles
  • 1 bag tiny mini eggs
  • 1 bag mini eggs
  • 1 bag chocolate golden eggs
  • 1 pack sugar carrot decorations
  • 2 maltesers mini bunnies
  • 1 pack wafer daisies
  • 1 pack fluffy chicks

Instructions

  • Start by putting together your gingerbread house kit, 'gluing' the house together with royal icing. Leave the house to dry and set before you start decorating it.
  • Place the house on the plate or board that you wish to serve it on. Spread a layer of royal icing all around the house and sprinkle over the green coconut sprinkles for grass.
  • Pipe a line of royal icing along the top ridge of the roof and attach a line of tiny mini eggs.
  • Pipe a line of royal icing all around the edge of the base of the house and decorate with a line of mini eggs and golden eggs on all sides.
  • Pipe a thick line of royal icing from the front door for a path, and top with tiny mini eggs for paving stones.
  • Pipe royal icing onto the back of each sugar carrot and stick onto the roof to decorate.
  • Pop a couple of chocolate bunnies at the front of the house.
  • Press wafer daisies into the coconut grass, using a little royal icing to attach them if needed.
  • Finish your Easter house with a scattering of fluffy chicks.
