Parting with $30. It would be too good to eat but it sure looks great.

The birthday cake book has one in it. (all you need is the time, takes a while to assemble)The kits are a bit flavourless,andfor $30 you could order one from pak'n'save.

In my experience, please steer clear of pre-made house walls or kits. They simply do not stand the test of humid-summer-condition times in our climate. Take a little time to visit this site, you'll probably need to read a bit first; but is very rewarding: http://www.gingerbread-house-heaven.com/

Pre-made take all the fun out of doing one yourself. They are not difficult to make. The AWW has a recipe and a template which I had used for years. We have just done a gingerbread house workshop and are due to do another one on 17th.it was fun and everyone that made one was so thrilled with their efforts.

Don't glue the walls together with toffee and then try to transport it in a hot car.

I made these for my boys to decorate last Xmas but this year I'll make one for myself too as it was so much fun. The problem I had was that they went soft really quickly so I need to figure out how to store them so they stay crisp. I used royal icing for my 'glue' and got the template online.although it made huge houses!
