The Art of Gingerbread Houses

Uncategorized

I love Love LOVE YouTube! Several years ago when I was trying to teach myself how to make and use fondant I spent a couple evenings watching one YouTube video after another.  In each video the cake artist did something a little different, I learned something from all of them.

I learned how to decorate cakes about 25 years ago, it was the best money and time I have ever spent. Not only has my ability to decorate cakes enabled me to make some money from home, but it naturally grew into a catering business. And what has been even more rewarding are the countless classes where I’ve taught others how bake and decorate.

The basics that are learned in cake decorating are carried over into most aspects of confectionery arts from making cupcakes and Christmas cookies, to elaborate wedding cakes, to fancy pastries, to gingerbread-houses.

I love gingerbread houses and I am amazed at the big competitions. The elaborated houses and all the details are incredible and inspiring.  Listed below are a few YouTube tutorials with basic tips. I hope you enjoy them and learn from them.

This is a national competition in SC.
