About This Workshop
There is something magical about building your own gingerbread house. In this hands-on 3-hour workshop, you will construct and decorate a complete gingerbread house from pre-baked panels, using royal icing as your structural glue and decoration medium.
This workshop is open to all skill levels. Whether you are new to cookie decorating or already have some experience, you will find the process satisfying, creative, and great fun. The workshop is also extremely popular with parent-and-child pairs — we offer a special couple ticket for an adult and child attending together.
You will take your finished gingerbread house home in a protective box, ready to display or eat. Many participants tell us it becomes a treasured family tradition.

Do I need prior baking experience?
No. All gingerbread panels are pre-baked and ready for assembly. You focus entirely on the construction and decoration, so no baking knowledge is required.

A properly assembled gingerbread house can last several weeks as a display piece if kept in a cool, dry place. For eating, it is freshest within the first week.
