HINTS and TIPS:
If pieces need to be trimmed in order to fit better, lay the piece to be trimmed on a flat surface and use a serrated knife to gently saw through the gingerbread.
If a piece breaks, lay the broken pieces on a piece of waxed paper and use the icing as glue to mend them. Allow the mend to dry 15 min. before trying to finish the house assembly.
