Like any building project, making a gingerbread house from scratch takes time and planning. But also like any DIY project, the results are worth it – especially when it comes to bragging rights. With this classic gingerbread house, we take you by the hand and help you at every step. The result? A sturdy yet crisp gingerbread house with all the molasses-y spicy flavours you’d expect, adorned with gorgeous little lollies. Set the scene with model trees, then dust with icing sugar and desiccated coconut for snow. You’re not going to want to eat it, and then you won’t be able to stop!
