Casa Turta Dulce | Gingerbread House

RO: Am cumparat anul trecut de la Kaufland un kit de construit casa din turta dulce. Am construit-o impreuna cu sotul si fiica si a fost distractiv. Anul acesta am gasit un kit cu tren de construit si a fost si acela frumos, dar parca vroiam sa facem si casa din turta dulce. Asa ca m-am uitat putin pe pinterest si am gasit un model simplu de casa din turta dulce, am modificat putin dimensiunile si aia a fost. Am tiparit modelul, Ioana l-a decupat apoi am facut aluatul de turta dulce, l-am intins pe masa de lucru cu sucitorul si am spreyat cu putin ulei si am pus sablonul. L-am taiat cu spatele cutitului ca sa nu tai si fata de masa. Am pus cu grija in tava, am dat la copt aprox 10-15 min. Am intors piesele cu spatele in sus. Am incalzit putin zahar pe foc pana s-a topit si am turnat in zona geamurilor. Am lasat sa se raceasca. Am preparat glazura dintr-un albus de ou batut cu mixerul si 250 g zahar pudra. Am facut 3 glazuri, una mai groasa/ densa pentru lipit peretii, una mai subtire alba pentru decor si una roz, tot pentru decor. Am decorat cu alb conturul si apoi am pus roz. Am lasat sa se intareasca apoi m-a ajutat fiica mea Ioana sa lipim bombonele pe peretii exteriori. Cand s-a intarit, am lipit peretii, am pus in interior o lumanare mica electrica. Ar mai fi trebuit sa fac si o baza pentru casuta, poate data viitoare.

EN: Last year I bought a gingerbread house building kit from Kaufland. I built it with my husband and daughter and it was fun. This year I found a train building kit and that was also nice, but I wanted to make a gingerbread house too. So I looked around on Pinterest and found a simple gingerbread house model, I modified the dimensions a little and that was it. I printed the model, Ioana cut it out then I made the gingerbread dough, I rolled it out on the work table and sprayed it with a little oil and put the template on. I cut it with the back of the knife so as not to cut the tablecloth. I carefully placed it in the tray, baked for about 10-15 minutes. I turned the pieces upside down. I heated a little sugar on the fire until it melted and poured it into the window area. I let it cool. I prepared the glaze from an egg white beaten with a mixer and 250 g of powdered sugar. I made 3 glazes, a thicker/dense one for gluing the walls, a thinner white one for decoration and a pink one, also for decoration. I decorated the outline with white and then added pink. I let it harden then my daughter Ioana helped me glue the candies to the outer walls. When it hardened, I glued the walls, I put a small electric candle inside. I should have made a base for the house, maybe next time.
