Decorating haunted gingerbread houses is a perfect way to celebrate Halloween. Decorate with orange, black, and purple candies and sprinkles, candy corns, and black licorice. Make bats, ghosts, tombstones, and other ghouls out of icing, fondant, or gum paste.
Make sure to build a gingerbread house structure that's a little spooky too. Anything that's a little off-kilter or asymmetrical works great. Check our
templates page
for our haunted house templates. A few of our visitors have even used our templates to make a haunted castle and haunted clock towers. They're really terrific!
Of course, you can make ANY gingerbread house pattern look spooky too. Even the basic symmetrical house template can look like a haunted house if you add tilted or broken shutters and some spooky details (like split black licorice for creepy trees.
