A picture of a ready to make Gingerbread House from the kit.
Gingerbread has been baked in Europe for centuries. In some places, it was a soft, delicately spiced cake; in others, a crisp, flat cookie, and in others, warm, thick, steamy-dark squares of "bread," sometimes served with a pitcher of lemon sauce or whipped cream. It was sometimes light, sometimes dark, sometimes sweet, sometimes spicy, but it was almost always cut into shapes such as men, women, stars or animals, and colorfully decorated or stamped with a mold and dusted with white sugar to make the impression visible.
The term may be imprecise because in Medieval England gingerbread meant simply "preserved ginger" and was a corruption of the Old French gingebras, derived from the Latin name of the spice, Zingebar. It was only in the fifteenth century that the term came to be applied to a kind of cake made with treacle and flavored with ginger.
Designing your own gingerbread house or gingerbread man is something kid's will truly remember this Christmas season. So I bought this Gingerbread kit from Gourdo's in Trinoma mall to add to our Holiday Christmas Activities.
The kids Natalie, Justin, and Jordan were so exited to design the Gingerbread Man. When we opened the kit me and my sister tin2 also joined coz we had 8 cookies to design. And it did look a lot of fun adults would love to do with their kids.
And since it was Christmas everyone had a price after the contest. All the kids designed their Gingerbread man so temptingly delicious that my daugther Natalie was eating her Gingerbread even before the contest ended.
I would recommend that you add this to your activities next Christmas. There are also other kits they are selling in Gourdo's that you might want to buy. They also have Gingerbread Christmas tree kit that you can choose from aside from the Gingerbread Houses and the Gingerbread man. The kits costs around 500-750 pesos.
