25 creative gingerbread houses to inspire you this holiday season

Delectable miniature abodes that you could ostensibly eat Gingerbread houses come in many shapes and sizes, as well as varying skill-levels of execution. And not all of them are made from gingerbread. But most gingerbread houses are alike in that they take the shape of a child?s drawing version of a house: with a high-pitched gable roof and four walls. In other words, very architectural?but for the people.
We?ve covered fancy constructions and monumental ones, too, but the following are ones that most folks could probably pull off in their own kitchens, or buy adding their frosted spin on pre-made or packaged kits (prefabs). Without further ado, here?s a roundup of sophisticated, lopsided, charming, and all-around delectable miniature abodes that you could ostensibly eat. Amateur architects, take note! All you need to build your dream house are a few slabs of dried-out gingerbread cookies, plenty of frosting, and a singular vision. Oh, and maybe a big appetite?you know, for cleaning up around the job site.
