Gingerbread houses are fun to make, beautiful to look at and tasty to eat. That makes them a great party theme, gift idea and dessert ~ all in one. How’s that for holiday multitasking?

For inspiration, check out these amazing gingerbread houses. From a modern gingerbread dollhouse, complete with tiny designer furnishings, to a gingerbread skyscraper ~ if you can imagine it someone has probably rendered it in gingerbread form. Click on each image to find out more.

Of course, most of us aren’t advanced gingerbread architects. However, all it takes to get started is stocking up on some supplies like special bake sets, molds, decorating tools and cookie cutters in addition to the oh-so-important candy toppings and gingerbread.

If your gingerbread house doesn’t turn out quite the way you want it, you can always have a little fun with it before eating it.
