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.
