| Video Reviews |  No video reviews found for this product. | Customer Reviews |  Quick Assembly | | Review Date: November 29, 2008 | | Reviewer: Lisa Longoria, Burlington, WI USA | This kit worked well overall. The pieces are quite thick and I did not have trouble with them cracking. I had the house assembled in just about ten minutes. It takes about 30 minutes to set and then you can decorate it. There is an enclosed idea sheet for decorating.
The roof pieces that came in my kit were warped and therefore didn't lay flush with the walls and began to slide off. This was easily corrected however, by adding more icing to fill the gap. The icing was very thick and was great for holding the house together but made it difficult to decorate with. With practice the results probably would have been better. There are five different types of candies included and I would have liked a few more. The jimmies wouldn't stick to the thick icing so they were nearly useless. |
10 out of 12 pieces BROKEN | | Review Date: December 20, 2009 | | Reviewer: Arnim Zola, | Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1ARCYCPH51PC3 This would have been a great gingerbread kit but it arrived all broken. I don't blame Amazon for this since they sent it in a big box with adequate protection. I think the manufacturer should take the blame for this since they didn't provide enough protection inside the kit's box. If they know their item is sold over the internet, then they should take better care to prevent broken pieces.
Out of the 12 possible pieces that could break, my kit had 10 broken pieces. Good luck using frosting to glue broken roofs back together again. The broken Christmas tree, wreath, and gingerbread men were not possible to fix with frosting.
The gingerbread itself is a good thickness (about 3/8" thick). The taste is a bit on the bland side. Compared to Pepperidge Farms Ginger Family cookies, I could barely taste the ginger or cinnamon.
+++ GOOD POINTS
+ Thick gingerbread.
+ Easy instructions
+ Comes with extra frosting bag and plastic tip for detailing with frosting
--- BAD POINTS
- 10 of 12 pieces arrived broken
- Broken roof pieces are impossible to fix due to the weight/thickness of the gingerbread. You will have a sad looking roof.
- Broken pieces means you will spend 3 or 4 times longer to make this and will have 3 or 4 times the mess with frosting.
- Not recommended for kids due to the broken pieces and mess. Your kids will be depressed by this kit.
- Say goodbye to your Christmas spirit when you open the box and see the broken pieces. |
very disappointed | | Review Date: June 16, 2009 | | Reviewer: Nava Sabag, Hollywood Florida | the whole gingerbread house was broken! I couldnt use it at all. . I tried to "glue it back together" with frosting, as suggested but the pieces were so small and crumbly that it was a disaster. . . I was so disapointed.
Never again!!! |
Don't buy this item!! | | Review Date: December 20, 2009 | | Reviewer: Margaret B. Jolly, | | The frosting was so thick that it wouldn't get on at all! I tried to use glue and frosting, but that ruined my tablecloth! Don't buy this ever! My daughter got so angry she cracked the rest of the pieces and almost broke down in tears. All of the gingerbread structures we make go bad and this was the worst. |
Not worth $20. | | Review Date: December 24, 2009 | | Reviewer: Kimberly Kleckner, Marion, Iowa United States | | The pieces were BROKEN when they arrived and I tried to glue them back together with the frosting but it was impossible. The house kept caving in. The candy to decorate with was of low quality. Consider purchasing a different gingerbread kit. |
