Gingerbread Village

Why make just a house when you can creat a whole gingerbread village?

"If only," you say. If, like me, you're worried you couldn't possibly accomplish one gingerbread house, let alone a whole village, help is on the way. I've also posted an article about how to make easy, no-bake gingerbread houses. It includes an icing recipe that has been foolproof for us. For design inspiration, enjoy this photo gallery of others' creations and see how many ideas you can pick up for decorating the easy, no-bake house.

You also might want to check out a book I consult every year, Making Great Gingerbread Houses: Delicious Designs from Cabins to Castles, from Lighthouses to Tree Houses.
