Ingredients:
Chocolate Gingerbread House
Method:
Chocolate Gingerbread House
  1. Beat the butter, sugar and golden syrup with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs, beating well between each addition
  2. Add the sifted flours, cocoa, spices and bicarbonate soda and stir until just combined. Lightly knead on a floured surface and then roll out to a 1/2 cm thickness
  3. Using a knife, cut 6 panels in a template: 2 x roof, 2 x sides, 2 x ends and place on lightly greased baking trays
  4. Bake in a moderate oven 180°C for 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on trays for five minutes and then remove to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container until required
  5. Spoon one third of the chocolate into a piping bag fitted with a fine plain nozzle and pipe windows onto the sides and end panels. Allow to set.
  6. Spread the remaining chocolate and whatever is left in the piping bag onto the roof panels then sprinkle liberally with grated chocolate. Allow to set
  7. Gradually whisk the icing sugar into the egg white until smooth and thick enough to pipe. Spoon the icing into a piping bag with a 3mm plain nozzle. Use icing to assemble (stick together) gingerbread house, then decorate with lollies and allow to set. Lightly cover in plastic wrap to protect from dust and insects until required

it was ok, but I wish that it split the two parts of the recipe

I thought that it worked quite well, but if you don't act fast after making the dough, it drys out and is really hard to work with because it keeps breaking, and I also wish that they marked which things were for the main recipe and which things were for the decorating :( in the end I sectioned off the decorating things myself, but recipe writers normally do that themselves
