Making a gingerbread house from scratch is tricky, and the pre-made, prefab store bought kids are a little generic. (And if we’re honest with ourselves, they take a little fun out of the process. Who doesn’t want that gingery scent wafting up from their oven this time of year?)

Well, there’s a third option. These clever cookie cutter template from Sweet Creations make it easy to bake all the pieces you need to build your homemade gingerbread dream house.   You’ll have the fanciest house on the gingerbread block, and be able to say “I made it all myself from scratch.”

And the time you save will let you try something new, like using almonds on the roof as the shingles.
