Anyone have some sort of quick hardening icing recipe?

My dd is doing a presentation on Ancient India and their way of life. She'd like to have the younger dc make a model of a house from then and she wanted to use graham crackers. So I was thinking this type of icing would work best in trying to hold it altogether. I used something like this icing a bazillon years ago to make a cross out of sugar cubes (don't ask...it went with a St. Anthony Mary Claret craft, he's from Cuba...hence the sugar!). Anyways, I can't find my old recipe.

Thanks!

I think what you need is called "Royal Icing", also the same "cement" or glue used for Gingerbread houses.

Since I don't know if you want to use eggs or meringue powder, I've given options. Basically it's such egg whites (or meringue powder), sugar and water.
