Royal Icing and decorate inside with scene and outside with the icing. don't
forget to make an opening in front for the peep hole.

Royal Icing
Ingredients
3 level Tablespoons of Meringue Powder OR 3 Egg whites at room temperature
but don't add the water
1 lb. confectionery sugar
3 � water tablespoons (slightly less than � cup)
� tsp. cream of tartar
Directions
Place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer for 7
- 10 minutes. After it has been mixed you may add additional water to thin
it down for other purposes, such as color flow. Use stiff for flowers and
other decorating purposes.
Keep the bowl covered with a damp cloth at all times. This icing hardens
when exposed to air.
