Gingerbread for All Seasons

I love making gingerbread houses. I've made quite a few, so I was looking for something with unique ideas. This houses in this book are very detailed. But don't let that scare beginners. One of the best things about this book is how it not only gives great ideas, but tells you how to use them. It starts with the patterns (great to have them full sized already) and tells you how to build the house from structure to finish. The variety and detail are wonderful. You could adapt each project to your own level of artistry. I would definitely recommend this as a keeper for the project shelf.

I am again very impressed by Theresa Layman. The gingerbread houses are just magical, not only because of the easy to use designs, but also because of the attention that has been paid to the details, which make every project just about perfect.A lot of ideas, not only for Christmas (although I LOVE the Santa sleigh) each and every one just lovely. The directions are extended and clear. I cannot wait to make them all!

I abosolutely loved this book! I made three houses from this book with my two daughters. Gingerbread has become a holiday tradition for us and this book has great patterns. They are actual size which makes them easy to copy. I even organized a whole gingerbread village with my daugther's fourth grade class using patterns from this book and Teresa's first gingerbread book. We especially loved all of the accessory ideas in this book. The accessories such as trees, snowmen, toys, candies, walkways, lamposts, etc. really make a gingerbread house look magical! I hope Teresa comes out with more books because her ideas are terrific,creative and surprisingly easy!

This is THE Best book I've come across on the subject of gingerbread house construction! (and I've read 8 of them!). The houses in the book are fabulous and really get the creative juices going! The pictures are great! There are clear instructions and patterns for each of the diffrent houses etc...I highly reccomended it!!!

This exciting, colorful, magnificent book gives the best directions for making the designs shown. The ideas are detailed, explicit, and the photos are REAL. What a book!
