You have options. Royal icing is king. Thick, stiff peaks—that’s the goal. If it drips, it’s too wet. Fix it with more sugar.
Second choice? Melted caramel. It’s hot, sticky, and terrifying for fingers. But it dries like glass. Perfect for tiny, angry roofs.
Avoid frosting from a can. It’s too soft. Your house will weep. Literally. It will droop into a puddle of sadness.
The Piping Bag Trick
Use a piping bag for precision. No bag? Use a ziplock bag with a snipped corner. It’s the poor man’s caulking gun.
Squeeze a fat bead of icing along the edge. Not a thin one. You want a gorge of glue, not a whisper.
Pro tip: let icing sit for 30 seconds. It gets tacky. Tacky is your friend. It grabs the walls like a toddler with a cookie.
