I love the holidays because so much of what we do centers around our family and spending time together. One of our annual traditions is to make a gingerbread house. My daughter loves this activity and it could be because she enjoys eating all the candy that we use to decorate the houses with!

This year we decided to make gingerbread cake houses using a gingerbread house cake pan. We really enjoyed the taste and softness of the gingerbread cake than the traditional gingerbread. After we baked our cake, it was time to decorate it. Be sure to cool your cakes completely before decorating. We gathered up Golden Crisp® cereal, marshmallows, soft mints and rosemary. It was so much fun to listen to Christmas music and laugh together as we decorated the cakes.
