Gingerbread Fun

Here is a great EZ build Gingerbread House project for you and your family. The 6-step kit that contains all you will need to create your candy and cookie centerpiece. The “EZ Build” tray and bag of premade icing (which will be your ‘glue’) make constructing your candy holiday home a snap. Also included in your kit are colorful candies for decorating. These kits do sell out so hurry and get yours while they last. Kits are available at Bed Bath & Beyond.

Surprise your family and guests with this stunning Thanksgiving themed Gingerbread House. Decorating with harvest and seasonal decorations like pumpkins, squashes, turkeys, pilgrims, red and yellow colors. Here is a nice video to guide you through ‘putting a Gingerbread House together’. Wishing you all a happy and safe holiday!!

For a fast, simple, and stunning Gingerbread House all you need is a pre-baked store bought kit, silver dragees, white icing, shredded coconut, and some sparkly white sanding sugar. Place the finished houe on a gorgeous silver tray to be admired through the season.

Now we have seen it all! Here is an amazing bustier or halter top that is covered in Gingerbread House embellishments and candy. WOW!  Check out some more designs here.

Did you know using hard-boiled lollipops, isomalt and gelatin, can be turned into beautiful windows for your Gingerbread house that give off that ‘glow” of a warm fire inside the cozy house. Visit HERE for details to make this Gingerbread House

Gingerbread isn’t ‘just’ for houses and little people! Our favorite cookie can be cut to make just about anything. And today, we bring you a great step-by-step set of instruction to build a whole train.

The instructions on the site include the parts/shapes you need to cut out, how to frosting them together and what the many train parts may look like. Even downloadable PDF templates to really make the shape cutting easy! You can customize as you like… just add a couple little highlights using bits of candy and colored frosting and a caboose could become a Santa Caboose or a engine is run by little figures of all of the family. It’s simple projects like these that lets everyone create Gingerbread Holiday fun then add their personal touches.

There is still some time before Halloween is here next week to get your goodies together and make a ‘mini’ haunted Halloween Gingerbread house.

Years ago, we found a site that let us have fun building Gingerbread Houses online. The site has gotten a bit outdated, which has resulted in email from our many visitors asking about new options. Luckily, this week we found another page that is helping us put together all kinds of ideas for new Gingerbread houses.

Starting with a clean house with a bit of frosting, just click and drag one of the many candy choices from the lower part of the screen up the house. The candies can be moved around as you like, they aren’t stuck where they are placed originally. When the virtual Gingerbread House is they way you like it, share with others by taking a screen shot or printing the page. Jump over to the Home Sweet Home page to start pasting candies onto your Gingerbread house.

Hi everyone, just wanted to let you all know that the pre-baked Costco Gingerbread House kits are available in your favorite Costco store for $9.99 and you know they won’t last long. Hurry, get your kits while they last.
