Ingredients
Decorating Kit Supplies
- Ready-to-Decorate Halloween Chocolate Cookie House Decorating Kit
- Black Sanding Sugar, 3.25 oz.
- Gray Icing
- Purple Icing
- Black Tube Icing
- Yellow Fondant
- Various Candy Pieces (for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare Icing: Place the gray icing into a decorating bag fitted with a tip to allow for precise piping during decoration.
- Decorate Door and Windows: Using the gray icing in the decorating bag, carefully outline the door, windows, and windowpanes on the cookie house. Roll a small ball of yellow fondant to create a doorknob and attach it securely with icing. Add candy pieces as additional decoration around these areas.
- Decorate Roof: Apply purple icing to the roof using the back of a spoon for an even spread. Use black tube icing to pipe an outline of a spider web design across the roof surface. Attach more candy for visual interest. Roll a log shape from the yellow fondant and affix it to the roof peak with icing. Add further candies to complete the look.
- Decorate Front of House: Pipe another spider web outline on the front of the house with black tube icing. Adorn with candy pieces to amplify the spooky theme.
- Optional – Decorate Base: Use a spoon to spread icing on the base platform of the house and sprinkle black sanding sugar or other decorative sugar on top. This step enhances the overall presentation of the cookie house display.
Notes
- The kit includes most of the structural cookie components, so no baking is required.
- Use a gentle hand when piping to ensure clean outlines and details.
- Fondant can be softened by kneading to make shaping easier for small details like doorknobs and logs.
- Feel free to customize the candy decorations to your preference for a unique look.
- Adult supervision may be helpful for younger kids during decorating.
