  1. Using scissors or a paring knife, cut a green leaf gum drop into halves or thirds.
  2. Using a Fondant Roller, roll out each of the cut pieces onto a surface sprinkled with granulated sugar to prevent sticking.
  3. Cut the rolled out pieces into triangles.
  4. Fill a disposable decorating bag with royal icing and cut about 1/4 in. (6.35 mm) off the end (a decorating tip is not needed). Use heavy pressure to pipe a line on the side of the house.
