Building a gingerbread house has become a tradition in our house every holiday season. We put aside a whole weekend every year to accomplish this feat. And every year it seems to get bigger and more complicated. At left is our 2007 house.
If you've never tried it, start out small. It's important to get a good recipe and make sure you have all the tools necessary. Some essentials are parchment paper, rolling pin, at least two large cookie sheets, a kitchen with enough counter space to spread out while working, and double ovens aren't necessary, but really speed up the baking part.
My kids love hunting for candy to decorate the house. We go to specialty candy stores, cake decorating stores and the grocery store to find a good variety of decorative candies.
