Oh, gingerbread. Whoever decided to make an entire house out of you and coat your landscape with icing and gumdrops was a confectionary genius. Gingerbread houses will always be fun to make no matter how old you get. In fact, looking for Instagram captions for gingerbread house pics is probably the only difference between adult builders and the kiddos.

If Instagram was actually a thing when I made those masterpieces growing up, you better believe I’d have them in the archives. Now, I'm sort of making up for lost time, embracing my more coordinated self and showboating my awesome gingerbread houses on social media. Thanks to the internet, and specifically social media platforms like Pinterest, I can take notes from other diverse ideas. It's always interesting to see how other people are perceiving the concept of a gingerbread house.

Gingerbread houses don’t necessarily have a protocol these days. People have knocked down those edible walls and have explored so many design possibilities for gingerbread houses. And no, you may not be able to get to all of them this year, but I'm dedicated to sharing how my sweet arts and crafts project came out, and I'm sure you are, too. Since you already know your delicious house is going to be delectable and 'Gram-worthy, you might as well pair it with a caption that’s just as appetizing.
