Pre built gingerbread houses - any in shops??

[ICantGetNoSheep]

Has anyone seen a fully pre-built gingerbread house in any of the shops? B&M, Aldi etc usually have them, but all I can see are the flat ones you build yourself. If you’ve seen one, please do let me know.

If there really are none available, would anyone recommend a particular flat pack one? From my experience, they usually collapse (could be the builder, as opposed to the tools 🤦‍♀️😂)

Dr Oetker's edible baking glue is amazing. I use it every year to assemble gingerbread houses and it has always held. Ignore whatever icing comes in the kit or just use it as a decoration.

I haven't seen any gingerbread houses yet though.

Lots of places sell them so they're around

It might be a bit early

Tescos did for Halloween

Thanks, everyone.

Will definitely check out the edible glue, as you’re right, the icing that comes in the packs is utterly dreadful!

Aldi had one in when I went in the other day.

ikea. Full of kits and edible glue !

Do you ever actually eat it? I think of it more as a decorate piece, it sits out for a good week or so, and would have no qualms about using PVA to hold the thing together. The kids can eat sweets as they decorate and we sometimes have a couple of gingerbread people standing out front which they eat later.

M ans s have flat pack ones. We have done them before from there. Usually stay together if somewhat lop sided with a gap in the roof. It adds character, the kids don't care. Ours very much gets eaten, Usually from day after it's made.
