If you want a great book on how to create a wonderful gingerbread house from scratch or you just want some great gingerbread house decorating ideas this is the book for you. Making Great Gingerbread Houses by Aaron Morgan and Paige Gilchrist contains gingerbread and icing recipes, detailed instructions on how to create the house, tons of tips, ideas and lots of lots of pictures!

If you have NEVER made a gingerbread house and you are terrified to try this book will show you how. The instructions are very well written and the pictures are detailed to see step-by-step how to assemble and decorate your own house and landscape.

Even my 6 year old children spend an enormous amount of time looking at the pictures and picking out the kind of house they want to build. They can hardly wait to create their own house this year.

This book has been a great resource for our family. Everyone gets to participate, grandparents, parents and even the youngest toddler. This activity has been a great way for our family to connect and spend time together.
