Step by step
Shape light brown clay into a thick block with a pointed top: a little house.
Roll brown clay flat, cut out two pieces and lay them on the house as the roof.
Lay a thin white strand in waves along the bottom edge of the roof.
Press a dark brown door with a rounded top onto the front.
Press two small white squares above the door as windows.
Press a few small red and green sweets onto the roof.
Shape a small light brown block for the chimney.
Press the chimney onto the roof. Done!
Tip
Make the icing edge with a very thin white strand and press it on gently, so it stays nicely wavy.
