1. Design Workshop
​
-
Design Workshop is an addition to a Building class. Learn how we create house patterns from photographs or drawings and how they end up as cookie cutters!
-
Start with pre drawn cardboard pattern pieces drawn from basic elements of typical architectural styles such as Colonial, Victorian or Georgian.
-
Place and cut out pre drawn doors and windows anywhere you like to create your very own 'one of a kind' house.
-
Pattern pieces are then laid out and cut onto dough, or we can digitize your special design and have it 3d printed into cookie cutters!
2. Build Workshop
​
-
Workshop typically runs 2 hours.
-
Every builder gets their own kit of gingerbread house pieces. House style and pattern is chosen in advance, and custom styles are available.
-
Assembly demonstrations and frosting techniques are done in three stages: detailing of windows/doors, foundation walls/base assembly, and roof assembly.
-
Beautiful candy buffets are laid out for each builder to collect their own selection of edible candy shapes and colors.
-
Samples of creative ways to decorate with candy are given.
-
Finished houses are wrapped up and tied with a beautiful wire ribbon for easy take home.
3. Decorate Workshop

Similar to the Building workshop but you get right down to the fun stuff-without the tedious assembly part :)
