Library Journal Review

Farrow (Dress Your Gingerbread) goes beyond gingerbread houses to make edible centerpieces (wreathes, cookie-trimmed Christmas trees), gifts (autumnal plaques, boxes), ornaments, and jewelry. This versatile book also contains a template for a marvelous gingerbread steam train. © Copyright 2015. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
