I'm making some large (12"x20"x16") houses and have found that in
damp, rainy weather, the gingerbread pieces seem to absorb moisture from the air and end up being soft. When I construct a house, the pieces are exposed to the environment, and sometimes pieces start to cave in. The recipe I'm using is AP flour, salt & spices mixed into heated margarine, light corn syrup & brown sugar. Does any one have any suggestions?? Thanks, Pastry Gal |

If you aren't going to eat the creations, you could try sealing the pieces on all sides with a matt polyurethane. |
