Christmas gingerbread house

Christmas gingerbread house
When I was a child, I always wanted to have a beautiful gingerbread house covered with thick snow...
Now that we are doing baking, how can we have no gingerbread house for Christmas? Today, we realized my childhood dream and built a white Christmas hut, which is also a Christmas gift for my son!
You need to be patient enough to do this, and you have to wait for the icing to dry before you can do the next process. I also flinched halfway, because the oven is small and not baked in one go, so the gingerbread slices are of size and it took a lot of time to build the house. A lot of trouble, but in the end I persisted and felt a little relieved to see the finished product!

    Place the cut dough sheet on a baking sheet, make some holes with a fork, brush a layer of egg water, let sit and relax for about 20 minutes, put it in a preheated 180-degree oven, heat the middle layer, and take it up and down, depending on the color for about 15 minutes. Remove and dry in the sun. My oven is relatively small and I baked three plates in batches before finishing it. The last remaining materials are combined to make the base.
