There are many formats of the Gingerbread house, with sloping or straight gable ends, chocolate button or marshmallow rooftops to gazebo style hexagonal houses with delicate sugarcraft lace work. There are also many Gingerbread House Kits available from about $25 to $49, including a lovely one by Martha Stewart. The latter uses an assembly idea with sugared jellied fruits and striped candy canes you could easily copy using my recipe below. Cost wise, a kit is outrageous compared to making your own. To make the Fashion-era Gingerbread House 2004 will cost you less than £5 or $10 maximum including decoration. The Aroma of a Spiced Gingerbread House Gingerbread biscuits are a very old commodity that has been sold at fairs and village markets for centuries in Britain and also throughout Europe and Scandinavian countries. One popular British gingerbread is the famous Grantham Ginger Biscuit. The origin of the Gingerbread House most seen at Christmas is thought to be German and these edible Gingerbread house decorations were probably first developed about 200 years ago. Many German customs crossed the Atlantic to the Americas and are now firm favourites worldwide. Recently in the UK, food fashions have included Gingerbread items and products like Stollen and Panettone. All have become very fashionable food items to offer to spur of the moment guests at Christmas and many make great little gifts for casual calling. A German friend of mine always used to give me spiced biscuits from a delicatessen before they became more easily available everywhere. Now that I bake Gingerbread Houses or Gingerbread Holly wreaths most Christmases for both decorative and edible effect, I have come to the conclusion that the spice taste that most matches the biscuits my friend gave me is that of cinnamon. So my recipe uses cinnamon as the base spice powder, but you can replace it with mixed spice, ginger or your own spice mix. Every time you pass the Gingerbread house wherever you display it, wonderful wafts of Christmas smells attack your olfactory senses and create an aura of festive wintertime that no synthetic perfumed festive spice candle can really give you.
