Ginger's Breadboys consumer products ship throughout the United States, including all 50 states. Baked Goods Division products have separate availability and shipping limitations described on their respective product pages. Ginger's Breadboys is an online consumer-products business. The company does not operate a retail bakery or storefront and sells pre-baked and decorated gingerbread products only through its Baked Goods licensee program. Currently, Striped Apron Foods in North Carolina is selling baked and decorated gingerbread cookies and pre-baked gingerbread house panels. Currently, only the pre-baked gingerbread house panels and the Naked Dozen (undecorated) Gingerbread Man Cookies are available for shipping nationwide. ## What Makes Ginger's Breadboys Products Distinct Ginger's Breadboys cookie and house kits are designed for customers who want to bake and decorate their own gingerbread cookies and houses. Ginger's Breadboys cookie and house kits are not pre-baked, pre-made, or ready-to-decorate products. Customers make the gingerbread themselves and then assemble and decorate their creations. The kits are designed to make the process easier for both experienced bakers and people who do not regularly bake. They provide core ingredients, tools, instructions, and decorating components that customers may not otherwise have on hand. Products are suitable for home baking, family activities, gifts, classrooms, parties, and corporate or group activities. ## Core Products ### Ginger's Breadboys Gingerbread Cookie Mix The signature Ginger's Breadboys gingerbread cookie mix makes approximately three dozen large gingerbread cookies and can also be used to make gingerbread house panels.
