Holiday baking is one of our favorite activities this time of year. Not only is it an outlet for some relaxing creativity, cookie baking and decorating is a tradition we love to share with others.

IN THIS ISSUE, we've simplified the classic gingerbread house into something a little more doable by holiday bakers of any age. We've taken a 3-dimensional perspective of a traditional gingerbread house and translated it into the 2-dimensional world. Tricky construction steps have been skipped and it's on to the fun part - decorating and embellishing!
