When I first saw these mini gingerbread houses over on the Custom Cutterz Facebook page, I knew I HAD to have some. In fact, I fell in love with them so much I ordered 2 sets of cutters!
They are so small, you can hook them over the edge of a cup. How cute would this be, to serve friends coffee over christmas with one of these perched on their cup?! They are delicious too, if you can bring yourself to eat them…
This was the first time I’ve ordered from Custom Cutterz but I will definitely be using them again. They provided an excellent service at a great price. I also asked them to create another custom cutter just for me and within a couple of hours it was done and on its way to me. Awesome! They use a 3D printer to create them so they can make a cutter in just about any shape. The idea of them being 3D printed appeals to my inner geek too.
They are a set of 3 cutters and they even come with a recipe to get you started right away. I used this recipe for my little houses but I cheated with the royal icing; rather than play around with egg whites etc. I just used a pack of royal icing sugar. A little splash of water and this icing sugar turns into perfect royal icing, just right for sticking the houses together and for decorating too.
To decorate, I used some of the multitude of baking ‘sprinkles’ that have been hiding in my kitchen cupboards and waiting patiently for an occasion such as this one.

I don’t think I need to say any more about these adorable little houses. If you want to make them, head over to the Facebook page and get ordering the cutters!

Disclosure: I paid full price for these cutters from Custom Cutterz. I was not asked to post about them on my blog, or to write a positive review; I've done it, because I think they are fab!
Those are the cutest gingerbread houses ever!
Thank you! I am really pleased with how they turned out. They were pretty fiddly to make though.
They are so sweet! Such a great idea, they look brilliant – perfect for kids to have as a special treat on Christmas eve.
Thanks Coriander Queen! Never mind the kids, these are perfect for a treat for MEEE! haha 🙂
They are so cute, Kevin! I have not been able to handle a large gingerbread house so far. I think even my awkward hands could assemble these miniatures!:)
Thanks Ben. If you have awkward hands I don't think you'd be good with these… They are pretty fiddly to put together!
Love love love these Kevin. They are soo very cute! Fab work!
I've had them on my to-make list for a couple of years now but kept putting it off because of the fiddly free-hand cutting work. Great tip about this company who make custom-shaped cutters, thanks.
Thanks Vohn. I could never make these free hand, they are just too fiddly and have to be pretty precise to work!
These are just so cute Kevin! Would you believe I have never made a gingerbread house and I think these would be a good place to start.
I cannot believe that Stuart! You need to get making some of these, I think yours would be wonderful.
These look adorable, and delicious! Do you think they would be easy enough to cut out free hand?

Hi Sus! Thank you for your comments. I think they could be cut free hand but it would be quite difficult as they really are very small and the measurements would need to be fairly precise to make them fit together. Definitely possible though!
I saw your post on the TG Green Facebook page, it made me look as I use that cup every day. You have made a lovely job of them. I ordered the cutters and now have a dozen little houses made and a container of the baked biscuits ready to assemble. I am looking forward to using them on drinks for family and friends over Christmas. Thank you for sharing.
