Description

Delicious baked treat for the whole family. A gingerbread house will bring great delight to your children (and, I suspect, not only to them). It's a real piece of art! This delicacy will be hundreds of times better than any cake or even the most luxurious candies. For decoration, you can use colorful sprinkles, coconut flakes, or holiday cake toppings—your imagination is the limit.
