Gingerbread House aka Pretzel Log Cabin

I found the idea for this pretzel log cabin here -

Building the structure took the most time. Megan and I used a glue gun to hold the pretzels together and a serrated knife to cut the pretzels.

We made the four sides, each the length of one rod.
The roof was made in 2 pieces,
then extra rods were added underneath the roof to help hold it up.
I wish I had taken a photo of this.
Then we just glued all the sides and the roof together.
It is rather crude, but we impressed ourselves anyway.

We used red, green, and white frosting.
I recommend the Betty Crocker cake icing with the tips included
and I would get 2 cans of white and one each of red and green.
We also used gumdrops, m&m's, red hots, and various sprinkles.

The small gingerbread house (dog house) and Santa are from
Dollar Tree.
