Holiday Prep.: The icing

Does anyone think that Marshmallows would be good for making the gingerbread house? I was thinking that it might dry hard and act as an icing. Thoughts?

I found a recipe here that I thought would work. It uses...

3 Tbs. (21 g) gelatin
1/2 cup water

2 cups maple syrup

1/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. vanilla extract

  1. That's an interesting idea. I've never made marshmallows, so I have no experience to draw upon, but I'm thinking it's worth a try. Worst case scenario, you end up with marshmallows that won't hold the gingerbread house, but would be delicious nonetheless!

  2. Someone over on ravelry.com suggested that rice glue might work. What a great idea. Here's the link: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Rice-Glue

    I wonder if I added honey or maple syrup to it...
