Grandma’s Secret to Gingerbread Houses

This is the perfect kit for a rainy day project when those grandkids come to visit! Enticingly packaged, those kiddos couldn’t wait to make these gingerbread houses ( one for each of them!) The kit had everything we needed and can’t wait to share this great gift idea with all my granny friends!

This was a gift from a friend that I didn’t know I needed. It was perfect for me and my two granddaughters to use. The box contained everything you’d need. It was a hit, plus the gingerbread cookies tasted delicious!

ALWAYS DELICIOUS AND FUN TO MAKE!!!

Will order again!

Couldn’t be happier with the service, shipping and actual gingerbread yumminess!!

Perfect gift!

My favorite nieces, nephews and all friends' children and grands have delighted in these products, Well thought out prep. Keeps them busy. Benefit is yummy. A no brainer gift!

REAL Floursack

I love a good floursack tea towel in the kitchen. There's nothing like it for absorbency. And these are VERY LARGE. And super cute. I use mine all the time. In fact, now I have 3 of them.

Scratch Proud!

A lot of people can do a gingerbread house with pre-made panels that are scented of gingerbread but are hard as rocks! The real fun is in doing it all from scratch. Bake the panels, assemble the house, decorate it all and then EAT IT UP!! Okay, maybe don't eat it right away, but sit back and enjoy your work. This gingerbread house kit makes the scratch part fairly easy and the instructions ensure that you don't end up with a little house in ruins, ha. Make this a holiday tradition.

Great Family Activity

No matter the season, the gingerbread cookie kit is a great family activity. I have done it with my adult children and have given it as a hostess gift to families with younger children. From the baking to the decorating, it's just a fun, engaging time to work (play - it's FUN) with your kids, spouse, or a good friend.

Cali fan!

The gingerbread house kit was a hit with my daughters and a terrific gift for friends and family any time of year! Thanks for making it so easy!

Holiday Memories

Just got my first Ginger's Breadboys kit. It is a a darling presentation and I can't wait for the Bake & Decorate date I've set with my daughter. This is likely to become a holiday tradition we'll be enjoying in our household for years.
