Mini Gingerbread Houses
For a cute gingerbread house alternative, try these adorable pop tart houses! Since they're already frosted, that'll make decorating even easier. A template was made with cardboard, a ruler, and an X-Acto knife. After decorations were set and dry, icing was spread with a knife onto the edges of the pieces, they were pressed together and left to dry. The structure is all gingerbread, and piped royal icing is used for the clapboard siding.
Fun for All Ages
This gingerbread house puts the prettiest little twist on a holiday classic. It's made from vanilla sugar cookie dough with plenty of sprinkles mixed in for added color and whimsy. We adore this mini gingerbread house crafted from graham crackers! It's so simple yet with sweet details like a pretzel pathway and star topper. Red and green are the official colors of Christmas—and the official colors for your gingerbread house! A bag of red and green M&Ms make it simple to pull off this color scheme.
A Woodland Glen Christmas
The houses feature shiplap and individual pastillage shingles. The windows are gelatin sheets, and the inside figures are made of marzipan. The trees are fondant rolled in granola, then covered in royal icing. Another classic gingerbread design, but this time, complete with smiling snowman and a gingerbread Santa Clause to go with it! We see the regular gumdrop shingles with small Sixlet accents that bring out the color that the plain frosting and gingerbread lack.
It's the Christmas color combination you never knew you needed. Make a pretty pink and red house with candy hearts to celebrate your Christmas love. This is a story house about a little boy’s adventure with his best buddy Teddy and his faithful dog. They ended up dreaming at the toy shoppe and having fun in the snow.
Add ornaments to your icing trees, add lights to your holiday garland or create a cute walkway out of jumbo sprinkles. Icing makes magical snow, in that it helps everything stay in place. Use a spatula to make snow drifts and banks, or spread icing smooth on the board for a light, even dusting.
Marshmallow Snowmen
Hosting a gingerbread house-making party has been a tradition of mine for more than 15 years. From using different toppings to going overboard with icing and icing sugar, I hope that you have found some ideas to help you make that gingerbread house extra special.

Or even seeing who in the family can decorate the best one, gingerbread house decorating puts a whole new cheer on Christmas. This post shows you the best gingerbread house decorating ideas. Bring some Christmas magic to your home with our favorite gingerbread house ideas.
Noah’s Edible Ark
They’re sweet and creamy with a bite-sized crunch from the small gingerbread structure. It features a curved roof with a chimney and is piped with frosting. Imagine the smell of fresh-baked gingerbread filling your home. This sugar cookie house is the product of "all things merry and bright."
Santa’s on the roof
Festive wreaths and garlands are great for adding extra details, textures and color to your gingerbread house. Before you outline your design, use a spatula to fill in the shape of the door with icing. There’s nothing quite like gathering the family together and decorating a gingerbread house as a part of your treasured holiday traditions. Create the ultimate winter wonderland with the Wilton Build It Yourself Shimmer and Sparkle Gingerbread Castle Decorating Kit ($15). Decked out in blue-and-white icing, sprinkles, and candy, it comes with pre-baked and ready-to-assemble gingerbread pieces. Funfetti dough is an exciting alternative to traditional gingerbread in this sweet recipe.
This flower power house features gum paste surfboards, a canoe, and even a visiting sea gull. Rolled fondant was pressed onto a textured surface to mimic the pattern of siding and shutters. Sugar wafers were used as shutters and shredded wheat cereal as a roof. This boat was made from gingerbread covered with a layer of fondant. The animals are molded from fondant and marzipan, and hand painted.

Peppermint candies add more color to the front of the house, with the windows made entirely of purple and pink lollipops. This house makes an excellent addition to your living room, allowing people to appreciate the detailed craftsmanship that went into it. This wonderfully whimsical classic gumdrop gingerbread house with cotton ball smoke coming from the chimney is quite intricate with its use of awnings and colorful details. The gumdrop details for the roofing is the focal point with its vibrant colors. A fun take on the traditional gingerbread house with more emphasis placed on the front of the house. Multi-colored gumdrops form a narrow little path out of the snow, bringing more focus on the frosting and candied details of the front door.
Another traditional gingerbread style, with a wide, vibrant array of gumdrops, gummies, and Sixlets filling every color of the rainbow. With such detail paid to the windows, it almost feels like a real home. We see the same generous smattering of frosting to form the roof with large gumdrops as shingles. When you have an abundance of pretzels lying around, or you want to create a house with a more rustic feel, there is the log cabin.
They’re decorated with colorful Christmas-themed candies for a festive vibe. The houses are made with graham crackers with vanilla frosting. And this edible village has it all, from the snow-capped roofs to the tiny pine trees. The gingerbread features the addition of stained glass made with melted candy. The crisp, golden gingerbread is piped with colorful icing and decorated with Christmas shapes. Channel your inner bookworm with this fantastical gingerbread house that will transport you to Middle-earth.
