The 10 NEW! gingerbread houses pictured below are one of a kind and they are for sale for as long as they last. They are in order from least expensive to most expensive. Please note that we have to charge about $30.00 over and above the prices to be able to ship them.  We would fall all over ourselves to be able to make other accommodations. Talk to Ken to see what you can work out.

Be sure to click the thumbnails to enlarge the photos; the big ones show lots of detail.

The following are gingerbread demo houses:  They are not for sale.

These gingerbread houses are made completely of polymer clay.  I find or draft gingerbread house patterns and reduce them to about a quarter of regular size. The doorway on the bottom house is less than 1 inch tall.  I make the house pieces usually out of ginger colored clay but occasionally out of cookie dough colored clay. The house is assembled with super glue and whatever clay stuck in joints it takes to make it strong enough to support the clay icing and candy.

I buy and measure candies and cookies and gum and make them 1/4 sized with whatever clays best match their opacity. For instance hard translucent candies call for translucent clays. Trees are built from green star shaped clay "cookies", baked and then layered with white clay icing. For the cookies, I make an original with as much detail as I can fit onto a 1/2 inch disc (think of all those pretty cookie designs), make a mold, and then pull every cookie from that mold. Gumdrops are coated with very fine glass beads and really look like gumdrops.  By the way, if you ever bought "Reflective Glass Beads" from Frank's Nursery and Crafts  and never figured out what to do with them, I'll be glad to take them off your hands because mine are almost gone.

The houses are decorated with candy and cookies and icing, requiring multiple bakes before the bases are started. Finishing the bases with paths, fences, trees, gingerbread men, snowmen, candy gardens and perhaps a pond or stream is the last step.
