Why use the same old gingerbread house templates that everyone uses? If you're going to go to the trouble to bake and decorate a house, it might as well be unique and fun, right? We're working on creating lots of terrific, creative gingerbread house patterns for you to use on your next gingerbread venture. Call it the non-cookie-cutter approach to gingerbread if you will!
We Need Testers!!
No, not taste testers, but you can always do that too! We need volunteers to try out our new gingerbread house templates for free. We'll likely charge a few dollars per template in the near future (why make you buy a whole book of patterns if you're just making one house?) In the meantime, we really need folks who enjoy baking and decorating gingerbread to help us test our patterns.
What does this involve?
Only a sense of adventure! Just fill out the form below and we'll send you one of our gingerbread house plans to try. If you don't like the one we've chosen for you, simply ask for another. Then, bake your house using the template, taking photos along the way and especially at the end! Decorate your house however you like - add your own personal touch.
Why do we need you?
We simply don't have time to bake each and every one of the gingerbread house patterns we've now created. We test each one with card stock or cardboard, but it's just not the same as an actual, real gingerbread house. PLUS, we'd like other readers to see what the house will actually look like out of gingerbread before they purchase a template.
What's in it for you?
When you send in your photos and notes on what worked and what didn't (of course, we expect them ALL to work beautifully!) we'll pay you by making ALL of the gingerbread house templates available to you free of charge for a full year! Print them all out and use them whenever you'd like over the years. We'll also share your name under the photo if you'd like (this could be terrific coverage for you professional bakers out there!) No need to be a Pro though! These templates are designed for anyone to use.
Once we've sent you your template and you've built your house, use this form to send us your notes.
This form will save your notes and photos to a separate, password-protected page that only Template Testers have access to (and only after they've sent in their results.) At that time, you'll be able to see all of the other template tester's notes as well as your own. It's a terrific community where you can comment on each others results and we all work together to build ever-better gingerbread creations. Join in the fun!
