Pop Tart Gingerbread House (Printable Version)
Craft a festive gingerbread house using strawberry Pop Tarts and sweet holiday decorations in just 30 minutes.
# Everything You’ll Need:
→ Base
01 -
6 strawberry-flavored Pop Tarts
→ Adhesive and Decoration
02 -
1 tube decorating icing
03 -
Assorted holiday-themed confectionery
# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Place a sheet of parchment paper on a clean, flat surface to assemble the structure.
02 -
Position one Pop Tart vertically as the central wall. Flank it on the left and right with two additional Pop Tarts, aligning the edges flush at the base.
03 -
Using a sharp knife, mark the midpoint along the top edge of the central Pop Tart. From this midpoint, slice diagonally toward the top corners of each adjacent Pop Tart to form two pointed gable ends.
04 -
Place one cut Pop Tart on top of a whole Pop Tart and trim to match the angled rooftop profile, ensuring both sides are symmetrical.
05 -
Reposition the vertical walls and pointed gable ends to construct the house frame, setting the angled roof pieces on opposing ends.
06 -
Apply decorating icing generously along the connecting edges to firmly bond the structural walls. Allow the joints to set before adding additional components.
07 -
Carefully spread icing on the top edges and position the roof panels onto the assembled walls. Let the structure dry completely for stability.
08 -
Once the edges are fully set, decorate the house surface by affixing assorted holiday-themed confectionery with extra icing according to preference.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Use fresh Pop Tarts to ensure better adherence of components.
02 -
Customize decoration freely with your preferred holiday candies.
03 -
Enjoy within a few days of assembly for optimal freshness.
