Gingerbread House Day is on December 12..<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The best part of building a gingerbread house is eating the sweet treat when <\/span>we<\/span>\u2018re done!<\/span><\/p>\n

In the 17th century, only professional gingerbread bakers were allowed to make gingerbread, except at Christmas and Easter, when anyone was allowed to bake it.<\/p>\n

The tradition of making gingerbread houses started in Germany in the early 1800s. The first gingerbread houses were the result of the well-known Grimm\u2019s fairy tale \u201cHansel and Gretel.\u201d After this story was published, German bakers began baking ornamented fairy-tale houses made from gingerbread<\/p>\n

Gingerbread dough is surprisingly easy to make. You need ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves and molasses . Almost everything else is probably already in your pantry.<\/p>\n

At 35.8 million calories and covering an area of 2,520 square feet (nearly the size of a tennis court), a 21 foot high gingerbread house in Bryan, Texas was declared the biggest ever by Guinness World Records.<\/p>\n

The largest gingerbread man weighed 1,435 lbs and was made by IKEA Furuset in Oslo, Norway<\/p>\n

Gingerbread was brought to Europe by the Armenian monk, Gregory of Nicopolis, in the 10th century. He brought the necessary spices from the Middle East and then demonstrated gingerbread making, using spices and molasses, to French Christians.<\/p>\n
