WHY IT FITS
Every piece comes from a 3D model of the finished house, drawn with the real thickness of 1/4-inch dough. Walls that sit between other walls are cut shorter by exactly two dough thicknesses, and every window keeps at least 3/4 inch of dough around it.

GOOD TO KNOW
No gingerbread or candy is included. The dough is egg-free, but the royal icing contains egg (meringue powder), and the guide carries a raw-dough warning. The farmhouse in the first photo is a digital rendering made from the same 3D model as the templates.
This is the farmhouse from our Gingerbread Homestead Village, on its own. The Village has all four buildings (the farmhouse, a gambrel barn, a candy-glass greenhouse and a chicken coop), with pines, a picket fence and a farmyard map, in one download.

GOES WELL WITH
• Gingerbread Homestead Village: all four buildings in one download
• Gingerbread Barn: the gambrel barn from the same village
• Paper Snowflake Templates: 30 snowflakes for the windows behind the house

QUESTIONS
Q: Is this a physical item? No. It is a digital download; you print it yourself.
Q: Is it hard? It is a beginner build: four walls, a two-panel roof and a small chimney.
Q: I already have the Village. Do I need this? No. The Village has this same farmhouse, with the same templates and steps.
