This hands-on gingerbread house decorating class is your new favorite Christmas activity in New York City, and trust us -- your holiday season just got a whole lot sweeter! Your gingerbread house arrives pre-baked and pre-assembled, which means you skip the stress and go straight to the best part: decorating. Using royal icing, piping techniques, snow effects, festive garlands, wreaths, and window details, you'll bring your own gingerbread house ideas to life in the most delicious way possible. All materials, tools, and packaging are included, so you show up, get cozy, and let your creativity take the wheel.
If you've ever wondered how to make a gingerbread house that actually looks impressive, this class is your answer. An instructor will walk you through everything -- piping, layering gingerbread house decorations, and adding those charming finishing touches that make your creation genuinely shine. There's zero pressure and zero experience required. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned holiday crafter, you'll leave with something you're genuinely proud of.
This is one of those things to do in New York City that works for everyone -- a festive date idea, a fun friends' outing, or some well-deserved solo holiday cheer. Your finished house makes a stunning centerpiece, a thoughtful gift, or an excuse to eat icing straight from the bag. We're not judging!
Please note:

Each guest will decorate their own individual gingerbread house while sharing select ingredients and equipment with others at the table.
