gingerbread mug hugger roundup

I was completely floored when I recently spotted these gingerbread house mug huggers and decided I had to do some research on the subject to find out more. After combing the web for the best possible options, I’ve come up with 3 results for creating these adorable mini treats.

1. Make Your Own

Summer at She Leaves A Little Sparkle has an exceptional how-to, including her very own gingerbread recipe and free paper cut outs that can be downloaded for the house template.

Juliette Laura shares her recipe (also with a free template) along with some GORGEOUS photography on how to make her toppers.

2. Semi Home Made

Purchase Betty Crocker Cake and Cookie Mix or Nestle Rolled and Ready Gingerbread Cookie Dough and then use your own cookie cutters (or download the templates from above recipes) for a much quicker process.

3. Buy Your Own

While Anthropologie’s version is currently sold out, I did find these adorable versions at Williams Sonoma. If you’re interested in a less expensive topper, these Gingerbread Folks are a better bargain at $14.95 for 4.
