Why use the same old gingerbread house patterns that everyone uses? If you're going to go to the trouble to bake and decorate a gingerbread house, it might as well be unique and fun, right?

If you don't see what you like, fill out the form at the bottom of this page and tell us about a gingerbread house template you'd like to see. Send a photo if you have one to better your odds.

Problem with a Purchased Template?
The most common problem we encounter is when the purchaser does not realize that the templates are
downloadable .pdf files (rather than mailed templates). It is a fully automated process: As soon as you
place your order, you'll receive a link to open the .pdf file with your template contents. You will also
receive an e-mail with the same link (as a backup measure).
