Steps:
- Mix confectioner's sugar and water in a glass bowl until no lumps. Note: You can make this icing by hand but using an electric mixer or a stand mixer makes the mixing process a breeze.
- Add light corn syrup and mix until incorporated.
- Stir in lemon juice and mix until incorporated. NOTE: Check consistency; after mixing the ingredients together, drag the tip of a butter knife through the surface of your icing. If it takes 8 - 10 seconds to settle flat, you are good. If it's too thick, add more water (about a teaspoon at a time). If it's too thin, add a little more sifted confectioners' sugar. Continue adding more until you reach the consistency you'd like.
- Use the white icing as it is, or divide the icing into several bowls and add gel food coloring. See notes for different consistencies.
- Use immediately, or store in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface of the icing for up to 3 days. Stir gently with a spatula before using.
- Using an electric mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, beat the aquafaba and cream of tartar on medium-high speed until it reaches medium peaks, 5 to 8 minutes
- Add confectioner's sugar; mix until well incorporated.
- Add lemon juice and mix to incorporate. NOTE: Check consistency; after mixing the ingredients together, drag the tip of a butter knife through the surface of your icing. If it takes 8 - 10 seconds to settle flat, you are good. If it's too thick, add more water (about a teaspoon at a time). If it's too thin, add a little more sifted confectioners' sugar. Continue adding more until you reach the consistency you'd like.

GINGERBREAD HOUSE ICING
Saved this recipe from a parent workshop with my oldest daughter. Very easy to whip up, and the kids LOVED to taste it along the way!! Used whatever leftover icing to "glue" gingerbread house ingredients with a clean popsticle stick to an empty 8oz. milk carton.

Tips:
- Use fresh ginger. Fresh ginger has a stronger flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your icing a more intense gingerbread flavor.
- Make sure your butter is at room temperature. This will make it easier to mix and will help the icing to have a smooth consistency.
- Add the powdered sugar gradually. This will help to prevent the icing from becoming too thick or lumpy.
- Beat the icing until it is light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the icing and make it smooth and creamy.
- Use the icing immediately. Royal icing hardens quickly, so it's best to use it as soon as it's made.
Conclusion:
This egg-free gingerbread house icing is the perfect way to decorate your holiday gingerbread house. It's easy to make, delicious, and it will hold your gingerbread house together perfectly. So get creative and have fun decorating your gingerbread house this holiday season!
