Freestyle Competition Gingerbread House Entry (Kids)

Our freestyle competition gingerbread house category is a chance for your child to really get creative. They’ll be able to build literally whatever they want out of gingerbread (with your help of course!).

And if there’s one thing we know kids are good at it’s getting creative!

Inspiration is everywhere and there are loads of ideas out there if you just look around you. If you need a decent gingerbread recipe try out our signature gingerbread recipe which is perfect for building and construction. Plus, it tastes pretty good too. Check out our tutorials page for hints and tips on how to construct and decorate your gingerbread house.
