Step 1
1. The recipe for a no-bake house-shaped cake begins with selecting the base—cookies. If desired, gingerbread can also be used as the base. The cookies should be fairly dry (similar in texture to crackers) and preferably rectangular in shape. You'll need to create templates for the future house from them. The size of the cookies will determine the size of the templates. First, use a sharp knife to cut out the shape of a house with a roof.

2. Place the whole cookie on the table and attach the base with the roof on both sides. The two open sides will determine the size of the next piece—the rectangular wall. The number of cookies in the recipe is quite approximate, as not all shapes may turn out perfectly on the first try.

3. It's time to prepare the icing. To make it, sift the powdered sugar and separate the egg white from the yolk. In a deep bowl, beat the egg whites and gradually add the powdered sugar. When the mixture starts to increase in volume, add lemon juice and continue beating. The icing should be thick and hold its shape well. If the mixture isn't sticky enough, you can add glycerin.

7. At the next stage, you need to install the roof and fill the house with filling. You can use any fruits, berries, nuts, or whatever you have on hand. You can also fill the house with icing and crushed cookie crumbs left over from cutting out the shapes. Before filling the house, carefully spread icing along the edges of the roof.
