Do gingerbread tree decs/houses go soft?

[Iwasthefourthwiseman]

Just wondering whether gingerbread decs to put on the tree or gingerbread cottages people make go soft over Xmas?

I have just learnt put a sugar cube in the biscuit tin it might help! We eat them too quikly here to know. Hoping to make a gingerbread House today from scratch

But if they are on the tree or out do they go soft?

Ours have got harder.

Mine have never gone soft!

StAnne hope your house went well - have been icing my IKEA one, but have a major mend to do on the roof which broke in 2 and isn't sticking back together very well

No ran out of time. Have the walls and roof in a tin. Might make it tomorrow!

Our home made ones have gone soft before, usually after about a week (if they last that long without being munched!)

Gingerbread house made. Walls done last night. Decorated this morning with Ds. Looks lovely. I'll note how long it last ......No I can't we have too many children coming around for it to last ! Sorry can't down load photo no time off to works Xmas lunch! Will save it for next year

I made my Ikea one yesterday. I give myself 100% for effort and 20% for appearence

Although this morning it had gone so soft that the roof had caved in!!!

Oh well at least my family saw it and had a good laugh and now can eat it.. tastes lovely btw
