One particular post, however, recently got Anita a lot of attention. In it, she offers up a helpful hack for anyone building gingerbread houses this holiday season.
@tastyentertaining220 White sugar, melted in pan. Dip Gingerbread parts in and hold for a few seconds. TA DA! A solid house! #HolidayTiktok #welldone #yougotthis
In the video, she shows how she puts together the house quickly and easily, using burnt sugar. You simply put the sugar in a pan, get it to melting temperature and then piece the house together by bonding it with the burnt sugar.
She also uploaded a separate video that offers tips and a warning for anyone who plans to use the hack.
@tastyentertaining220 This sugar method works extremely well and is very easy but it does come with a warning! BE CAREFUL! #holidaytiktok #becareful #danger #yougotthis
TikTokers were impressed and in just six days, the video received 1.6 million likes and 7.9 million views.
In both videos, people made requests for more gingerbread house tutorials, and Anita delivered. In her second video, she went into more detail on the method.
