There are basically five ways to make a gingerbread house:
- Bake the gingerbread, cut it into pieces using a template, assemble the house, and decorate.
- Buy a pre-baked gingerbread house kit, which includes pieces of pre-made gingerbread. You use icing to put it together, then decorate.
- Use graham crackers or Pop Tarts for the "gingerbread" house pieces. Assemble with icing, and decorate.
- Bake a gingerbread house cake using a gingerbread cake mold. Decorate.
- Buy a pre-assembled gingerbread house kit. Pull it out of the box and decorate.
