- When cutting out your gingerbread pieces, be sure to use a sharp knife and avoid jagged edges. It's always a good idea to test-fit your pieces before you start assembling the house. That way, you can make any necessary adjustments before it's too late.

- When it comes to decorating, the sky's the limit! Get creative and have fun with it. After all, there's no wrong way to decorate a gingerbread house. Grab all your favourite chocolates, lollies, marshmallows, gumdrops, peppermints and candy canes from your local FoodWorks for decorations! And you can even make some little gingerbread men to live inside!
Following these tips will help you build a strong and stable gingerbread house that looks great and tastes even better! Merry Christmas!
