Williams-Sonoma Personalized Gingerbread House

One of the best treats around the holidays is making your own gingerbread house.  I never really acquired the skills (and patience) to detail an edible house, but I hear it’s fantastically fun & quite rewarding, I just never saw the point of constructing something so beautiful, just to rip it up & eat it later.  It would be like building the Taj Mahal, then tearing the thing down.  Just an odd tradition I suppose.

Anyhoo, back to the Williams-Sonoma Personalized Gingerbread House.  This gingerbread house kit puts the other such kits to shame.  The structure is constructed of a very yummy cookie dough that has been enhanced with molasses, honey, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger & allspice.  Woah, this baby has it all!  The home also features a beautifully decorated exterior with white icing, gumdrops & peppermint sticks.  But what makes this gingerbread house leave all the others in the holiday dust, is that you can personalize this one with your name or any other word up to eight letters, sorry to anyone with an exceptionally long name.  Cost, $49.
