Natural Gingerbread House Decorations?
I have never made a gingerbread house, in fact I've only ever made ginger bread once before and I have some rolled out in the fridge as I type :p I'm doing a trial run as I would like to make a house for a Christmas party. I have used organic Rapadura sugar, organic egg, biodynamic butter and organic spelt flour in the gingerbread but I am stuck on how to decorate it. I haven't ever made royal icing but I think I will make it with palm sugar, the only problem is that it will be brown which would be fine but I want the gingerbread house to be colorful. So then I thought that I could sprinkle coconut on the roof to make it white and perhaps make up some sort of paste with the coconut which I would naturally colour with spirulina, raspberry juice and beetroot juice etc, I will experiment but was hoping someone had some experience they can share? What other natural decorating can I do?
