How it works
- Choose the size and the roof; print at 100 % (actual size) and cut out the paper pieces.
- Roll the dough about 5 mm thick, lay the pieces on it and cut around them; bake and let cool.
- Glue the walls with royal icing, let them set, then add the roof and decorate.
Frequently asked questions
- Why must I print at 100 %?
- The pieces are drawn at their real size so the walls and roof fit together. Check the scale bar on the page with a ruler.
- How big is the finished house?
- The sizes are printed on each piece: the small house is about 10 cm long, the large about 20 cm.
- How do I stop the pieces spreading in the oven?
- Chill the cut pieces before baking, and trim them with the paper template while they are still warm.
- What holds it together?
- Royal icing (egg white or meringue powder and icing sugar) — let the walls dry for an hour before the roof goes on.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. The template is drawn in your browser.
