GINGERBREAD LODGE

With a little effort, a basic A-frame gingerbread house kit becomes this snowy
ski lodge. We used candy rocks for the exterior, rolled wafer cookies for
exposed beams and a heaping helping of royal icing and coarse sugar for the
snow-kissed rooftop.

GINGERBREAD CABIN

Who wouldn’t want to curl up in this cozy gingerbread cabin? A basic A-frame kit
gets dressed up with shredded wheat cereal, pretzel rods and candy rocks. Our
favorite embellishment is the mounted candy “antlers” on the front door, made
from a chocolate disc and broken pretzel pieces.
