Hmm, I've never heard that and I've thrown parties with 10 couples each making their own house with lot. It depends on the frosting you use. Royal Frosting is best and you want to use a stiff gingerbread dough. I don't have a recipe handy, but it shouldn't be hard to find.

Here's a recipe for Royal Frosting.
