•It took roughly 12 square feet of gingerbread dough (that’s four large batches) to make all the walls, floors and roof
•Over 8 bags of powdered sugar were used to make all the frosting
•It took over 40 sleeves of large Smarties which are used to simulate dry stack stone on the building exterior

Best gingerbread house cookie:
2 C light corn syrup

1 1/4 C margarine
1 tsp salt
9 C flower
