Cover this pretzel with lots and lots of icing.įor your side wall with the window, use icing to glue a broken piece of pretzel under the window for a windowsill. Place a pretzel stick into the space between the roof pieces, resting it on the top of your 2 triangle pieces. You’ll notice a space between the roof pieces at the top. Repeat this with the other side of the roof, and then pipe more icing underneath the edges of the roof to help provide support and to cover up the foil. Pipe icing thickly on the edges of your front and back triangles and on the top of the pretzel wall between them. Let them dry in place at least 1 hour before attaching the rest of the roof. You can use the Wheat Thins box to help prop up the triangles as they dry. Use a generous amount of icing on the top pretzels that are on the front and back sides of the house, and then place your triangle pieces in the frosting. Once dry, it’s time to attach the triangle pieces. At this point, let all your pieces and your cabin dry for at least 1 hour. Use frosting to stick the pieces together, and then cover them all in more frosting to help them be really sturdy once it dries.
The 1st (bottom) piece should be about an inch shorter than a whole pretzel stick. Repeat the whole process with more Wheat Thins to make your 2nd roof piece.įor the triangles, you need 7 pretzel pieces that get progressively smaller.
#Pretzel log cabin instructions crack
This isn’t 100 percent necessary, but it really helps your roof to not crack when you put it together. Next, you need to cover your entire roof piece with icing and stick a piece of folded-up foil onto it. Repeat this with your next row, sticking them into the line of icing that’s on your 1st row. Repeat this until you have 9 in a row, then draw a line of frosting along the whole row. Put a dab of icing on the side of your Wheat Thin, and then place another 1 overlapping it. I made my roof 9 Wheat Thins long, which overlapped the length of the pretzel walls really nicely. It will consist of 4 assembled pieces - the 2 diagonal pieces (made with Wheat Thins) and the front and back triangles (made with pretzels). When you reach the top of your window (it was 5 pretzel sticks high for me), start using whole pretzels for that side wall.įor the final layer of your house, use a complete pretzel above the door. Continue building up your walls, using broken or cut-off pieces on the sides of the cabin with the door and window. Use 2 shorter pieces of pretzel to form the sides of your window. Just as you did with the door, cut a segment out of the 5th pretzel for your side wall. Once your house is 4 pretzels tall, it’s time to add a window. I like to use lots of extra icing on the inside corners to help reinforce the house. Pipe icing onto the top of each pretzel stick, and add on another layer of sticks, alternating which ends stick out. As you’ll see in the next photo, you’ll need to cut a segment out of that pretzel stick. At this point, decide which wall will have your front door. Arrange 4 pretzel sticks in a square with an end sticking out on each corner. You can use anything from a large plate to a foil-covered baking sheet. I went with a simple white square platter. You can decorate your house with candy if you want, but our family really likes the clean, rustic look of just pretzels and crackers. Not only is it fun to make and eat, but it also makes an impressive centerpiece for your holiday table.
