Step-By-Step
Step 1: ICING PREPARATION:
Knead the icing pouch for 1-2 minutes bringing icing to room temperature and making it more adhesive. To start the flow of icing, remove the cap and snip the tip 1/4″ from the top of the tip. Be sure not to cut the opening too large. Your icing is now ready to use.
Step 2: ARRANGE GAS STATION PIECES FOR ASSEMBLY:
Lay out the Gas Station pieces o the table with the front and back panels face down. Separate the Gas Station pieces by gently breaking along the snap lines between sections. To ensure there is enough icing to stick the pieces, pipe a zigzag of icing along the edges of the front, back and side panels as shown. Cardboard pad containing house cookies may be used as a base for setting up your house.
Step 3: ERECT WALLS:
Place back panel of the Gas Station onto the pad them press side wall up against icing o back panel. Repeat process with second side wall, the front panel. Adjust walls to create a good rectangle prior to putting on roof pieces.
Step 4: APPLY ICING TO HOUSE PEAKS:
Pipe a zigzag of icing along roof edges of both side panels.
Step 5: ADD ROOF:
Attach roof panels to Gas Station peaks (attach larger roof facing gas pumps and shorter roof over Drive Thru window) and hold in place for one minute. Add a zigzag of icing between roof pieces. Hold in place for another minute while icing sets. Wait 15 minutes prior to decorating your house.
Step 6 & 7: CREATING THE PIT STOP SIGN:
Separate the Gas Pump pieces by gently breaking along the snap lines between sections. Attach two pumps back-to-back with a small amount of icing. Pipe a zigzag of icing along the bottom edge of each set of pumps and attach to base as shown. Attach the support to the back of the Pit Stop sign with a zigzag of icing as shown.
