Book Reviews of Gingerbread Houses
Book Review: The Gingerbread "Bible"
Summary: 5 Stars
I have researched many books on gingerbread in search of the "how to's" when I first got started making gingerbread houses. Although this is not a fancy book and has no color photographs, it should be considered the gingerbread "Bible"--a must have for all gingerbread bakers---especially those new to the hobby. It was the MOST helpful book for me when I began--all kinds of practical tips and pointers. I used to just check this book out of our library but finally decided to go ahead and buy it as it is so helpful. Thanks to Christa we are able to do our Mother-Daughter Gingerbread House party every year as part of our family Christmas traditions.Book Review: And on the 7th day there was GINGERBREAD
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was one of the most helpful books for me when I wanted to do something special for the holidays. You see I'm NOT a cook or a cookie maker by choice. But when I saw Mrs. Curries book it reached out and said "BAKE ME BAKE ME BAKE ME" Her book was very easy to follow and the results were FABULOUS. This is one book for the holidays that I highly recommend to all beginners or professionals. Happy Baking to all and to all a Gingerbread House.Book Review: Thumbs Up!
Summary: 5 Stars
Filled with tips and ideas. It's informative and written with light humor, not like reading a dry instruction manual. It has everything from basic to advanced ginger breading. Discusses recipes, constructing and decorating, preserving/storing, lighting, etc. Sketches are very detailed. Includes tree and fence ideas to `landscape' your gingerbread house. Would highly recommend!Book Review: The essential book for first-time gingerbreaders!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is THE book for anyone wishing to jump into the world of gingerbread house design, construction and decoration. I have purchased several books on gingerbreading since I created my first houses using this book and I always end up using Christa's recipe and baking tips, no matter what design I am trying out. They are fool-proof!
Book Review: a wealth of great ideas in a small, simple book
Summary: 5 Stars
I've seen bigger books on making gingerbread houses, I've seen fancier books, but this is the all-time best book yet on the subject. It's simple, clear and loaded with creative ideas. I found this book when I was about to make my first gingerbread house. Now, 20 houses later, it's still my favorite book on the subject.
