Meanwhile, combine icing sugar, egg white and lemon juice in a bowl, stirring until smooth. Transfer some of the mixture to a small snap-lock bag and snip the corner. Attach sides to a front by piping icing along edges. Press firmly and allow to set. Attach back panel. When set, finish by attaching the 2 roof panels. When all pieces are dry, attach the chimneys and decorate as pictured. Dust with icing sugar for a snow effect.
