Nothing captures the magic of the holiday season quite like building your own gingerbread house. The warm aroma of gingerbread spices, colorful decorations and snowy icing make this one of our favorite festive traditions to share.

And this workshop is designed to be shared! Each booking is for one adult and one child up to 14 years of age, making it a wonderful two-person holiday experience and the perfect opportunity to spend a festive afternoon creating something together.

In this creative workshop, you’ll learn how to make everything from scratch—from perfectly spiced gingerbread dough and sturdy baking techniques to royal icing that holds everything beautifully together. Once your house is assembled, it’s time for the best part: decorating it entirely in your own style.

Whether you dream of a classic snowy cottage, a colourful candy house or something completely unique, we’ll provide all the guidance, inspiration and decorations you need to bring your creation to life.

No previous baking experience is needed—this workshop is perfect for families looking to enjoy a festive afternoon together and create a holiday tradition of their own.
