Sick of those hard gingerbread cookie houses you get in a box at the grocery store that just slip and slide and never stay together? Why not try a cake instead?

The DIY gingerbread house cake is a small 4 inch spiced molasses cake that comes with 2 bags of icing, mini cookies in the shapes of gingerbread men and a little tree, sprinkles and candy!

The cake is far more enjoyable to decorate (guaranteed to not fall apart!) and even better to eat over a hard as rock cookie. This is a fun activity to do with your kids on a weekend or over Christmas!
