5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for first time gingerbread house crafters!, 1 Jul 1997

By A Customer

"Gingerbread Houses", by Christa Currie is far and away the best book I have found for introducing the craft of creating your own gingerbread house. It is easily read, and the instructions for pattern-making, mixing , baking and assembling your house are equally easy to understand and follow. All are written in an engaging manner, as though the author were letting you in on a special secret she has found, and actually, she has indeed! This time-honored craft has been written about and demonstrated many times over the years, but Christa's book made me feel right from the start as though even I could accomplish a masterpiece.

The book is basically divided into two parts: the first 1/4 of the book being the instructions on how to make patterns, gather supplies, bake and assemble the house. The rest of the book, entirely 3/4 of it, is devoted to an incredible assortment of decorating tips! From windows and roofs to spires and chimneys to candy stained glass and candy people...so many different ways to decorate are offered that it stirs up one's own creative juices! I found that even though I had never made a house before, I had loads of fun, baking and decorating with confidence, and producing such a wonderful result that no one could believe it was my first time!! Such results would not have been possible with out the help of this book...I looked at many books and articles and such, and by far "Gingerbread Houses" is at the top of my list!.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Impressed.., 12 Aug 2004

By	Dawn Tyrrell (Southall, Middlesex United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

I have been wanting to attempt a gingerbread house for some time, but have to admit I had no idea where to start. Whilst looking for a book on the subject I was very encouraged by the other reviews on this book. I have hardly put the book down it really takes you through each step and explains it perfectly. I already have started planning my house. Even the lack of photographs is not a problem as there are beautiful drawings of the houses. I am very pleased with the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The essential book for first-time gingerbreaders!, 26 Oct 1997

By A Customer

This is THE book for anyone wishing to jump into the world of gingerbread house design, construction and decoration.

I have purchased several books on gingerbreading since I created my first houses using this book and I always end up using Christa's recipe and baking tips, no matter what design I am trying out. They are fool-proof!

I've seen bigger books on making gingerbread houses, I've seen fancier books, but this is the all-time best book yet on the subject. Read more
