Host a Gingerbread House Party
The best parties are those which let children get involved and be imaginative. This holiday season, invite children to join in the pleasure of an age-old vacation tradition: gingerbread house decorating.
Sweet Invitations
Set the tone (and colour palette) to your party with this cute gingerbread house invitation. Traditional Christmas colors combined with unexpected gray and picture patterns create an original take for the holiday season. Print, cut and fill on your party details. If hand-delivering the invitations, deliver with a newly baked gingerbread cookie.
Dress the Part
Find a special outfit that your little one can wear to parties and gatherings all year. Department stores, boutiques and internet handmade shops are full of seasonal clothing, such as this vintage-inspired dress, weeks before the holiday festivities start.
A Sugary Wonderland
Create a dessert buffet inspired by the colors and tastes of the season. To present your dessert table a good look, use cake stands or wrapped boxes to pile sweets at different heights. String a red-and-green banner atop the buffet.
Gingerbread House Centerpiece
A finished gingerbread house makes a perfect centerpiece for the table. Not only is it a fantastic focal point, it also functions as inspiration for the celebration guests whenever they decorate their miniature houses.
Fabulous Paper Details
Most gingerbread homes are created for display purposes rather than actual eating, so why don't you use paper elements to liven up the decor? Make this embellishment by folding strips of paper accordion-style and procuring with hot glue to produce the background lover. Top using the printable gingerbread man party circle design.
Peppermint Lollipop Cake
An easy, layered white cake from the supermarket is easily dressed up with candy. To make, put a store-bought cake on a stand. Line starlight mints across the bottom of the cake to create a border. Put extra mints into a plastic bag and crush into pieces using a mallet. With the palm of the hand, then push the pieces into the sides of the cake till covered. Finish the top with a few old-fashioned lollipops. Label each dessert with a fairly food label.
Dressed-Up Cupcakes
Cupcakes are loved by everyone. Bake your favorite recipe at home or purchase from the store and dress them up with paper cupcake toppers and wrappers. Print the cupcake topper template and utilize a craft punch or scissors to cut them into rounds. Then, attach the paper shape into a four-inch lollipop stick using a one-inch white ring tag. Cupcake wrappers are easy to make from decorative paper to match the theme. Displayed on a pretty cake rack, these cupcakes are hard to resist.
Gingerbread Cake Pops
Cake pops are yummy in any kind, but are especially attractive in the shape of adorable gingerbread boys and girls. To make, bake a boxed or homemade cake at a 13-inch by 9-inch pan as directed. Crumble cake and mix with a can of frosting. Form cake mixture into a flat layer and cut out using a mini gingerbread man cookie cutter. Chill the cutouts. Next, dip a lollipop stick into melted chocolate and then insert into the cutout to hold the stick in place. Dip the entire cutout in melted chocolate and then tap the side of the bowl to remove excess. Let dry, then decorate with white and red icing. Refrigerate till ready to serve.
Mini Gingerbread House Pops
Evidence that anything is better in miniature: These cute gingerbread house pops. To make, piece together miniature gingerbread homes with royal icing. To create a pop, simply stick a marshmallow on the stick before inserting it in the mini house.
Embellish the Table
The best way to exhibit your adorable pops? Fill out a colorful pot or bucket with gumballs, then put every pop indoors. To keep the gingerbread theme, decorate candy and dessert containers with ribbons adorned with your favorite printable party circle.
A Home of Their Own
Build a mini gingerbread house for every guest, attached to a cardboard base with icing. Make it the centerpiece of every place setting. Then, just put in a beverage, a personalized title card and a few decorations. For a simple, disposable place mat, use a 12x12 piece of paper. To continue the theme, you might even put in a gingerbread man or woman for each guest to eat or use for decorating.
Warm Them Up
Sexy chocolate is the perfect drink to warm up your guests on a cold winter day. Top with whipped cream and colorful sprinkles to get an irresistible deal with Get a hot chocolate recipe>>
Gingerbread House Decor
Fill bowls with candies for your visitors to use to decorate their own miniature gingerbread homes. Provide many different textures and shapes to inspire creativity, plus traditional gingerbread embellishments like peppermints, candy canes and lollipops.
Frost the House
Give each guest a pastry bag filled with icing to use as mortar for their vacation home. Or, just put a few bowls filled with frosting so the guests may spread it on with a knife. Kids may need a little assistance for this component; parents may frost while kids attach the candy.
Let It Snow
After the children are done decorating, then finish the homes with an edible snow foundation. Pipe frosting around the home, then scatter shredded coconut. Voila, a sweet winter wonderland.
House Favor Boxes
This box template is the perfect vessel for high-value treats at the conclusion of your house celebration. Since guests are heading home after feasting to a bounty of sweets, fill with trinkets and toys instead. Or, use the prefer boxes to house sweet treats for teachers, neighbors and friends.
A Lasting Memory
Tuck a recipe card into each guest's favor box. They can use it to create their own gingerbread people and houses for years to home.
A Sweet Goodbye
Another favor idea: This sweet and simple lollipop. Just attach a printable thank you label around a classic lollipop for a favor that's as pretty as it's delicious.
