non-glue solution

Misc.

Gingerbread houses can be constructed without a glue icing. This construction should only be attempted by adults. Buy granulated mega sugar. (not cane sugar)
It has a lower melting temperature than cane sugar. Put a small amount in an electric fry pan and warm until the sugar melts. Dip the edge in this melted sugar and the gooey syrup can be set down on a cardboard surface. The syrup will harden almost immediately and the wall will be glued down. Repeat this process dipping intended to be glued edges in the syrup. The construction will be sturdy and edible. You must be careful not to burn yourself. The children
can then use any stiff decorator icing to attach small pieces of candy.
