Whether your kids are ready to tackle a whole gingerbread house or just a few little men, this party will inspire you to make the baking, icing, and decorating a memorable affair! Glory Albin of Glorious Treats kicked off her Christmas season by hosting a gingerbread house decorating party for her daughters and 10 of their little friends. The TomKat Studio's custom printables, yummy treats — made from Glory's awesome recipes — in traditional holiday colors, and lots of candies for decorating make this one sweet (and easy to replicate) party. After all, guests brought their own gingerbread houses! "I highly recommend to my guests to purchase an assembled house, so the kids can get right to the decorating," Glory says. "Young children have a hard time patiently holding up walls and waiting for their house to be set up before getting to the decorating." And so do we, so start clicking for all the gingerbread fun!

52 Weeks of Baking: Gingerbread

CasaSugar and I recently got into a debate over who could make the best gingerbread house. I hadn't actually made one from scratch ever, and was about 10 years old when I last put one together. However neither of these things stopped me from talking up how great my house would be. I had the best plans and great ideas; only problem was I didn't have a recipe and didn't know where to begin. So I did some research, rolled up my sleeves, and started mixing. The recipe I found — from Bon Appétit — actually makes way more gingerbread than necessary for one house. With all the leftover dough I decided to make a few gingerbread men. Only problem was, I didn't actually have a gingerbread-man cutter. So I used a knife and freestyled.

The end result was a gingerbread man with one arm larger than the other. I fixed that problem by piping on an icing cast. His neck also received a hairline fracture because I moved it to the cooling rack before it was ready. I covered this up by piping a little tie on him. And since he had a tie, I felt he needed a cellphone, too. No matter what you end up doing, just have a good time. I'm going to share details on my house later this week, and now I'm off to invest in a good gingerbread-man cookie cutter!
