DIY Gingerbread House Cake
Guys. A confession. I hate making a gingerbread house. Every Christmas I dread it. I have also consumed a lot of bad gingerbread in my days. Which is why I have landed on arguably my best idea yet - a DIY gingerbread house CAKE. Cake trumps gingerbread (it just does, I don't make the rules) and you can decorate this one as you please on Christmas morning! It's destined to be your best Christmas activity yet.
So what's the deal with this cake I hear you asking! You will receive a cake with it's base coat of buttercream complete. It will be a perfect shade of gingerbread brown. You will then receive the following to make your house perfect -
- A container of our signature swiss meringue buttercream
- 1 x piping bag and 1 x round nozzle for piping
- A selection of lollies and sprinkles to decorate
- Instructions and tips to decorate your house!
Now although this is a gingerbread house, that doesn't mean you have to eat gingerbread. Our DIY house cake can be made in one of our three limited edition, Santa approved flavours -
Gingerbread Crunch - caramel gingerbread cake, dulce de leche, crunchy biscuit crumb
Aussie Pav - white chocolate cake, passionfruit curd, mango syrup, fresh summer berries (can be made GF on request)
Santa’s Milk and Cookies - white chocolate cake, cookies and cream buttercream, condensed milk soak, white crisp pearls
Our gingerbread house cake will comfortably supply 30 coffee portions. Any leftover serves you have you can individually wrap and freeze for NY!

Our cakes are made by humans, not robots. Which means your buttercream colour, lollies or sprinkles may vary to what is pictured. But that's what makes her unique and special!
