Most of us think of a gingerbread house as a simple house with four walls that is decorated with candy and frosting. Until recently, this is what I always aspired to create when making my gingerbread house.
But why stop at just ordinary – when you can make extraordinary!
Think outside the box and use sugar cubes to make an igloo, use candy corn to make a hauntingly cute house – Jack Skellington style, or maybe you like fairies – make Tink’s house … the possibilities are endless.
After visiting the Science of Gingerbread Exhibit at Discovery Science Center, I have been inspired to go beyond the ordinary. Who knows, maybe I will make a gingerbread house for Valentines Day and Easter next year. With enough practice and creativity, I may even attempt to make one like the penguins and igloo theme I saw at the exhibit next Christmas.

Forget the kits and start using your imagination. Anyone can build their own gingerbread house with a little help from the gingerbread men and these simple step-by-step instructions.
What will your next gingerbread house look like?
