Leaf gelatin sheets are one of our favorite gingerbread house decorations. Gelatin sheets
(or "gelatin leaves") are a specialized product that's used by bakers in jellied dishes and
for fine decorating details like butterfly wings and other translucent decorations. They are
edible, nearly tasteless, and translucent... absolutely perfect for gingerbread house windows!
The sheets even include diamond-shaped window panes, especially great for Tudor style, Cottage, or
Victorian gingerbread houses.
Simply glue the gelatin sheets to the inside of the windows with icing or, better yet,
melted sugar before constructing the house (but after baking!).
Our sheet gelatin (also called gelatine) is made in Germany and is a Type A of the highest quality.
Our gelatin leaves are the standard that recipes and chefs call for around the world.
Each pack contains 12 gelatin sheets (20g), 4"L x 2"W.
Our gelatin is shipped Priority Mail within 1 business day (to arrive in 2-3 business days).

Photo Examples of Gelatin Windows
This visitor purchased our leaf gelatin and then sent us the photos and the kind note below:
Good Morning Kelly,
I ordered gelatin sheets from your company a few weeks ago after we developed a problem with our sugar windows for our gingerbread house. For the first time, we decided to make a replica of our home and there are lots of windows. I had absolutely no idea what gelatin sheets were or how they might look, but I googled our problem and found your website. Well, I just wanted to drop you note to tell you that they are the easiest and most wonderful thing I have ever used! The windows look phenomenal!!!! I doubt if we will ever use anything else from now on. Thank you again for you help and hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas.

Here are some more example photos of gingerbread windows made from edible gelatin leaves:
See how the decorations inside the house show through the transparent windows? They look so much like real glass!
And here's another view of this same house, with a close-up on the windows.
Ever wondered "What is gelatin anyway?" or "Where does gelatin come from?" or "What are gelatin ingredients?"
Gelatin is a protein that is made from the collagen inside the skin and bones of animals. Our
sheet gelatin is made in Germany from pork skin material. No. Gelatin is tested
(with what's called the "Bloom" test) and graded according to its strength. Our gelatin sheets
are Type A gelatin of the highest quality.
