Know how to handle your gingerbread.

It’s super important you bake the gingerbread properly. Underbaked gingerbread will have unwanted moisture, which can lead to flimsy walls that won’t stand up and/or cave in with time. It’s best to err on the side of overbaking your gingerbread—look for noticeably brown edges and for the surface of the dough to look and feel dry, even inside the oven!

Decorating Tip

Use a sugar duster to sprinkle the house with non-melting sugar (or confectioners’ sugar) for that freshly fallen snow look.

Gingerbread house template

Perhaps one of the most challenging steps in making a gingerbread house is creating the template—making sure you have all of the measurements correct and the pieces are proportional. The beauty of the internet is that you can find a variety of house patterns to pick from! Just print and cut out the designs, transfer to lightweight cardboard, place the templates over rolled-out dough, and cut.
