Frequently asked questions
How do I make a gingerbread house last all season?
Use a faux foam-based gingerbread house and seal real-icing decorations with clear acrylic spray. Real gingerbread softens after a week: fine for one party, not for an eight-week display.
What colors go with a gingerbread theme?
Caramel brown, cream, gumdrop red, candy pink and a soft mint green. Avoid black, deep navy or anything saturated: they fight the warm cozy mood the palette is built around.
Is gingerbread decor only for the kitchen?
It's most popular in the kitchen but works equally well in a kid's bedroom, a playroom, or as the breakfast nook centerpiece. Skip the formal living room: the candy palette can feel juvenile in adult spaces.
