Dough for making a non-edible gingerbread house

by Mary Hayes
(Baltimore, Maryland)

Can I use a basic salt dough recipe and dye it brown to make my gingerbread house? Will the royal icing stick to it? The kids are not eating the dough so I was trying to get an inexpensive recipe for dough.

Please let me know

Thank you!

Last year I used a combination of salt dough and real gingerbread for a large house I made. IMO:
Advantages of salt dough:
White, and you can color it easily
Don't have to bake
Disadvantages:
Doesn't look or smell like real gingerbread; it never has that puffy, baked cookie yummy look.

I would think that would work. Why don't you try a small batch and see how it goes? Please let us know here too!
