Gingerbread Fun

Archive for December, 2009

It’s the day after Christmas. This is the time of the year most people think of as ‘time for Gingerbread’ due to all of the houses and cookies everywhere. We love Gingerbread year round… there is no reason a Gingerbread Man couldn’t be decorated with Valentines day hearts. If you find that you really need to be in the Christmas spirit to enjoy Gingerbread, there is the National Christmas Center, a spot that has the many views of Christmas. You can drop by anytime of the year and see the many fun sides of the holidays. We really enjoy the trains area under the tree… they weave through and around many Gingerbread Houses. Yum!

We at Gingerbreadfun.com would like to wish you all a safe and very Merry Christmas!

Even Hef and the playmates are in the Holiday spirit working in the Playboy Mansion kitchen with the chefs making a replica of the Playboy Mansion all out of Gingerbread complete with the gorgeous fountain. This must be one super sweet Gingerbread House! Details here.

While creating a Gingerbread cookie that has zero calories might sound tasteless, I found a tasty way to send Gingerbread Fun for iPhone users. Gather the family around to roll out the dough, cut with a cookie cutter (many shapes), bake, frost and add sprinkles. Then, important for me… share your creations out via email! While I will still be giving out the oven baked versions, everyone I know will get a fun cookie email. Colorful creations from my iPhone (I bet it works on the iPod Touch too)!

Checkout this amazing Gingerbread Nativity! We like to find unusual themes and designs for Gingerbread and this one really makes sense. Great Gingerbread creation!

This is a darling vintage 1940s-1950s era tablecloth with retro holiday images of Christmas trees fully decorated with ornaments, candy canes, Santa’s, snowmen, and Gingerbread men with a cute Raggedy Ann doll at the top! So very cute this one is!
