Pepper cake house

The tradition, I believe, calls for a ginger bread house around Christmas time. This year however, Caroline asked if she could have a “Hansel and Gretel”-style house made out of pepper cake dough, when she was having her friends from kindergarten over for a birthday party. Of course she could:

The dough was pre-made  gluten free and bought by yours truly at the local super market. But I did role it out, cut out the different elements for the house, bake them, stick them together with royal icing and decorate the whole thing. So the house consisted of a little bit of cheating and a whole lot of fun!
