Wonderful ideas
Even though this is a small book, almost all the designs in it are wonderful. Not complicated at all, with great looking results.
It holds patterns for a train, a crown, some smaller candy-decorated houses, a log cabin, decorated cookie ornaments and Noah's Ark. Everything is illustrated with beautiful pictures. All could easily be made with children as well.
It holds three recipes for gingerbread and Lebkuchen and has various tips to offer on making your projects work.
I gladly recommend it!!

Making Gingerbread
Both the title of this book, "Making Gingerbread Houses
and the photo on the cover page are misleading. With 24 recipes in total, only four are for houses (interpreted liberally): crelated castle, noah's ark, hansel and gretel cottage, christmas cottage. The majority of the recipes are for "and other gingerbread treats" (subtitle): crown, steam train, teddy bears, elephants, cookies, wreath, plaque, heart, etc.

The instructions for the gingerbread houses are fair, and the recipe, which includes, butter, questionable.

I bought the book on the basis of the other review and the charming photo of the house on the book cover.

I cannot recommend this book at all.
