Artisan Gingerbread & Creative Workshops
Learn to create beautiful edible art or order custom-decorated gingerbread cookies for your special moments.
Workshops throughout Amsterdam
Hi, I'm Oksana. Every December of my childhood in Ukraine smelled like cinnamon, cloves, and the oven my grandmother never let anyone else touch. She'd hand me the piping bag once the important lines were done — my job was always the polka dots, never the roofs.
I moved to Amsterdam in 2022, and somewhere between learning Dutch and missing home, I started baking gingerbread again — first just for myself, then for a curious neighbour, then for whoever kept asking about the smell. That's really how Ginger House began: not a business plan, just a kitchen table that got a little too crowded.
Now I teach what my grandmother taught me, plus a few techniques she never had the patience for. Workshops run in Dutch, English, or Ukrainian — whichever feels most like home to the people in the room. I keep groups small, because I want to actually see the moment your cookie clicks, not hear about it afterwards.
