Gingerbread House Templates

Build a gingerbread house that actually stands up. Four true-to-size printable designs, from a four-piece A-frame that is easy for young bakers to a tall two-storey townhouse, with the recipe, the dough worked out for each house and a clear step-by-step building guide. What makes it different: every piece is drawn in real centimetres and checked to measure exactly right in the PDF (walls 11 x 15 cm, roof 18 x 9.6 cm and so on), and every template page has a 5 cm print check bar, so your walls meet. Each design has its own guide page with a picture of the finished house, a footprint plan to mark on your board, a list of pieces with sizes, how much dough you need and the build order. You also get an extras sheet, a no-bake colour-in paper house for little ones, judges' scorecards for a family showdown and a bake-day planner.
