One of the best gingerbread books available, Samuell’s debut is essential for serious gingerbread architects and decorators. Along with explicit instructions and step-by-step photographs, this book supplies piping templates and six unbelievable projects, including Kari’s Ski Cabin, Louisa’s Bakery, and Haunted Hideaway. Samuell demonstrates techniques for adding interior lighting, troubleshooting royal icing, and applying impression mats, plunger cutters, fondant, and pastillage. Many of her suggestions won’t be found elsewhere.
