Claire Saffitz Attempts To Make Greatest Gingerbread House | Dessert Person
Tis almost the season for holiday baking, and what better way to spend an entire day, evening, and following morning in the kitchen than making and decorating a gingerbread house. It’s a fun project if you’re looking to spend some time in the kitchen, and because it’s almost more crafting than baking, you can make a centerpiece for the entire holiday season. Follow Claire as she goes through the peaks and valleys of the process, and pick up some construction and decorating tips along the way.

@chesterstefan9049 2 года назад

@@abbyz13 I mean ultimately it was her choice to do this episode and literally nobody made her spend a whole extra 4-5 hours doing all the little decorations for the gingerbread house. Like she could have just stopped when the timer finished, but she enjoys crafting and you could see how proud she was at the end. At around 4 mins in she even talks about why she was excited to do this project. It's clear the vibe was more of a "oh god what have I done" type of realisation for the challenge/time crunch. She's also said before that venting/complaining is just part of her process in dealing with pressure, like on GM, but there's no basis to argue that she /actually/ hates doing this when it's literally her own show and she has the creative control to decide what kinds of videos get made. She's a grown woman capable of making decisions for herself and nobody is forcing her to do anything she doesn't want to.

@aimeeparrott9204 2 года назад

I loved everything about this, it was chaotic in the best way. My top tip: put the windows in before assembly. You can just pour the caramel (or isomalt or whatever) directly into the window holes. It will set perfectly, you won't need to worry about cutting hardened caramel, and it takes way less time than trying to get them in there once the house is built.

Claire hating on gingerbread houses is so relatable. I always think that type of stuff is going to be fun, then like 20 minutes in I’m like, why did I do this? And you’re in it so you have to complete it so the rest of the time is minimal and your just like PLEASE BE DONE ALREADY. It’s satisfying AF once it’s done though.

She had planned a full Saturday just for assembly after spending the week prepping everything.

And I’m sure it does when you have a whole team to put it together for you!”

@amaz21 2 года назад

Agreed. They should have had the crew decorating a gingerbread house as well! These kinds of projects are just more fun when done as a group. Plus, definitely not pointless because I now have a valid excuse for purchasing Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I need it to make roof shingles. The rest of the box, I guess I'll just have to eat (so that I'm not wasting food of course).

@yogawithsara 2 года назад

I’ve been making gingerbread houses since I was a kid and I still use the technique my mom taught me. We use fairly thin, but really dry (and tough, not delicious at all) gingerbread and glue the houses together with dry caramel instead of royal icing. It acts like hot glue so it essentially hardens almost immediately so you don’t need to wait for royal icing to dry. Our houses are really small and simple but they assemble very quickly. I once baked and assembled about 20 of them for a children’s party my friend hosted, it was a lot of work but the kids had so much fun decorating them 😊

@ryanreigner6230 2 года назад

@@nectarshrub yes! sugar. no water. hot pan. swirled, not stirred. amber color. salt if you actually intend on eating it. pour onto gingerbread house seams. (A dry caramel just means a caramel made without water. sometimes you'll do this to candy fruit peels, sometimes you'll do this to add milkfat and make caramel candies, but this usage works as well.)

The star anise is a wonderful effect, especially with the interior light. The roof shingles are fantastic and also the icicles! What about putting the windows on before putting up the walls; and maybe join a long side with a shorter side and let the join dry (do that twice) and then put both "L"s together and spackle together on the base. A timeconsuming project to be sure!

And good tips and advice for assembling too. How to Cook That is her channel and has lots of gingerbread house episodes. PS I think she often uses chocolate for assembling the house, some people advise hot caramel which sets immediately - but that can be a disadvantage as you get just one chance to get things lined up and accurately in position. Chocolate with a setting spray would also give an instant set but you've got a bit of time to wiggle things into place before setting that way. Personally, with a really thick royal icing, I've never had any trouble assembling a gingerbread house, but it's got to be pretty thick.
