Before you begin your holiday baking and gingerbread-house making, make sure you check out these amazing designs for inspiration! You can make your own home (or gingerbread cookies) from scratch using this basic recipe from About.com. We recommend using any leftover candy you have around the home and being as creative as you can. Icing is the perfect glue but can be a bit messy so try to use sparingly and keep the basics of your home simple to avoid frustration, dramatized by a sugar-rush. Also beware of Hansel and Gretel-like children that may try to gnaw at your home! (Left from manolohome.com)
