Want to try a different gingerbread house this holiday season?  We saw this cool RETRO CAMPER GINGERBREAD HOUSE and were quite impressed with the detail. The colors are so festive and pretty and it does look very yummy to eat. Even if you don’t create your own gingerbread camper, this recipe offers really cool ideas about making the awesome “extras” in this cute scene, like the campfire and the outdoor mat and chair. Very cool! So, if you’re up to the challenge, check out the entire DIY recipe and instructions at Sugar & Cloth. You’ll get the baking recipe for the gingerbread, the icing and you can download the camper template too.
