I've been making gingerbread "villages" for the my kids' (now grandkids') classrooms and our friends' kids for 30 years. This recipe is easy and delicious. You may buy a pattern online or make one as we did.... Read more ...use your imagination, include the kids and have fun! This gingerbread will keep for 3 weeks at least..........keep in a dry place.....away from heat..........do NOT cover tightly or it will softened. Gently lay a piece of plastic wrap over the top, if you must. See less
