I made a couple gingerbread houses one year. One for my sister and her family, one for my brother and his family. ACK! What a lot of work. On one house, I sculpted curved shingles for the roof. That took a lot of work. I even did the lemon drop candy glass windows (with a real 10 watt lightbulb inside, wafers for the shutters, which I decorated and caramel block chimney. Two gingerbread houses. Yes, you are right, you do need to use royal icing.
My hat's off to you. Wonder houses you've done over the years.
