At Richmond American Homes, we’re all about building houses. So, it should come as no surprise that gingerbread houses are among our favorite holiday treats!
Although baking and assembling gingerbread houses is a time-honored tradition for many, there is no rule stating that gingerbread houses have to be traditional. If you like to think outside the box (or, in this case, the box containing the gingerbread house kit), we’ve rounded up a variety of Pinterest-worthy gingerbread house ideas to take your holiday to the next level.
From the deceptively simple to the kind of complicated, these eye-catching, edible designs will help set the stage for a wow-worthy winter wonderland—and you’ll have fun making them, too!
