I am new to gingerbread houses and this book is the best! I was lucky enough to have chosen this one as my first guide to gingerbread construction. I am absolutely hooked and hope to make projects for Valentines, Easter and on through the year. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. You won't be disappointed with this book!

Absolutely wonderful!

If you like making gingerbread houses, this is the book for you. Absolutely beautiful designs, full patterns and clear directions. The great pictures give you a preview of the results and make it hard to decide which one to make first. The many details she put into her desings make everything extra special. I'm looking forward to trying them all, and am determined to buy the author's next book with designs!

Absolutely wonderful designs with full-sized patterns.

If you are serious about making Gingerbread houses, this is the book for you. The designs are wonderful and included in the book are full-sized patterns with which to copy on a photocopier for use. The only problem I have is deciding which house to make first!

Gingerbread's not just for Christmas anymore.

I bought this book a couple of years ago and have thoroughly enjoyed it. There's lots of great stuff here, including an Easter basket with bunnies, a carousel, Noah's Ark, and a quilt shop. Lots of wonderful ideas -- you'll be making gingerbread all year 'round.
