Gingerbread houses may be a Christmas staple, but their construction isn’t limited to snowy chalets.
For Halloween, Sugary Creations owner Catherine Spears will offer an all-ages Haunted Gingerbread House Workshop on Saturday, Oct. 19, to throw some extra spice into the materials list.
“Goblins build our houses, so we never know what to expect,” says Spears.
She has seen a bit of their handiwork already, since even goblins need time to gather ingredients. Spears is mum on how much shrunken head or eye of newt may go into the dough, but she has advised that something has altered the traditional gingerbread color.
