gingerbread houses

Edible holiday dwellings

Gingerbread houses are decorative structures made from gingerbread cookies, typically assembled with icing and adorned with candies.

Building them is a Christmas tradition, especially for children.

The houses range from simple kits to elaborate architectural creations.

In the fairy tale "Hansel and Gretel," a gingerbread house lures children to a witch's lair.
