Frequently Asked Questions

    ♥   Are your products edible?

    ♥   Do your products contain nuts?

    ♥   Do your candies contain nuts?

       We purchase our candies in cases and then repackage them for our kits and        individual candy sales.  Some of these candies may contain nuts or may               have been produced in a facility that processes nuts and other potential               allergens. We do not currently use nuts in our products.

   ♥   How do you package the houses to arrive safely?

       Each house is shrinkwrapped and packed in bubble then packed in a        product box. All product boxes are then packed in shipping boxes. Should        you receive any portion of your order damaged, call us right away for a               replacement or refund.

       How can I preserve my house year after year?

       To save your decorated house, year after year, store it in a clean, dry,        environment away from extreme heat and cold. Be sure to pack it in a        pest-proof bag and box. If you chose to freeze your house, it must be        sealed in an air-tight container to prevent damage from moisture.

    ♥   My house is too soft ... too hard.  What can I do to fix it?

       Gingerbread houses are affected by the temperature of a room and the        amount of moisture in the air. If your house is unusually hard or soft, it may        be due to one of these factors. Try moving it to a drier part of the house        away from extreme hot/cold.

   ♥   How long do the houses last and how long are they edible?

       With proper storage, you can keep a gingerbread house for years. Our        houses will stay fresh to eat for up to 6 months depending on how they are        displayed and/or stored. Keep in mind that if you are displaying your        decorated house, it will gather dust and other air particles, and while it is        technically edible, it may not be desirable to eat.

    ♥   Do you sell houses that I can assemble myself?

       Yes, most houses/products are available unassembled.

    ♥   Does the kit come with candies?

       Yes, each kit comes with candies and decorations specific to the type of        house (ie...dog house comes with gingerbread dogs and dog bone candies,        etc...)

    ♥   Does the kit come with frosting? Is it enough to decorate the house?

       Yes, each kit comes with frosting mix. All you do is add water and mix with a         hand mixer. Each package is enough to decorate the house. Additional        packages of Frosting Mix are available to order.

    ♥   What does the kit come with?

       Each kit comes complete with assembled (or unassembled) house,        candies & decorations, base, frosting mix, decorator bag & tip, and        instructions.

    ♥   Can I buy additional candies/decorations for my kit?

       Yes, you can purchase additional quantities of the candies that come with        the kit OR you can purchase other fun candies through our website.

    ♥   Who makes the gingerbread products?

       All our gingerbread products from scratch locally in a commercial kitchen.

    ♥   Is your product available wholesale?

    ♥   Do you do parties?
