elisha, for some reason, the spices in the gingerbread and the intensity of all the sugared icing results in NO ANTS… I can’t scientifically explain it but you will probably not get ants…and we have ants and roaches in our home… :)

hello marketman,
just one curious question – how do you guard against ants? i would love to create my own gingerbread house but i am deathly afraid of bugs that may be attracted to all the candy left out in the open.
thanks,
elisha

What amazing attention to detail, MM! This project truly makes for wonderful Christmas memories. I am still trying to gather the guts to start our gingerbread house project with my 4yo son. Just like the Kid, I have beautiful memories of gingerbread houses built by my mom when we were kids. I want to start that tradition with my kids but I am afraid of the destruction that my 18mo girl might cause!
