Gingerbread World is five years old. Happy Birthday to us!!!

I can't believe it has been five years since we pivoted from Brighton Cakes and began specialising in gingerbread. Covid tanked the cake business but out of the ashes came gingerbread, something which up until that point had been a very small part of the business. A couple of big commissions followed and since then things have just gotten better and better with a a bumper year last year.

We've worked with some amazing brands and are proud to be stocked in Fortnum & Mason again this year. And as a thank you to anyone who has supported us in past years you can get 15% off your next online order until September 1 using the code HAPPY5TH. Order now for delivery later in the season if that works for you. (Discount does not apply to custom orders)

Watch this space for more gingery goodness and more exciting builds to come.

Who's gonna be hitting the sea later on today. With 30C heat forecast I know I won't be in doors that much. I do have some baking to do but hopefully it will be done early on so I'm not sweltering in the kitchen on sucha beautiful day. For reference the house is one we did for a summer event a couple of years ago with a bit of AI magic to animate!

I created this alpine gingerbread house for content back in January. Well, I started in January but didn't finish it until March because business and life got in the way. Anyway, this is the result. I hope to turn it into a template available online soon.

Crafting Connection: How Luxury Artisan Food Builds Relationships in Business

The most memorable gifts aren't the flashiest—they're the ones that say "I genuinely value this relationship." A handcrafted gingerbread cottage, wrapped in care and thoughtfulness, transforms a simple thank you into a moment that resonates.

In business, we know that meaningful gestures create lasting impressions. When you choose artisanal gingerbread over generic corporate gifts, you're not just delivering a treat—you're delivering a story. A reflection of time, skill, and intention.

At Gingerbread World, every creation is baked fresh, decorated by hand, and personalised for your client or team. Because the relationships that matter most deserve something exceptional.

What moment are you making memorable this season?

I've been a little quiet on here lately but that's because I have been beavering on stuff for the coming season. I also got rather carried away with the sun out at the weekend and turned one of our summer-themed gingerbread houses into a little video! The sun might not be shining quite so brightly today but this certainly makes me smile.

We tend to use gelatine sheets for the windows in our houses for several reasons:

1. They're quick and easy
2. They last a long time
3. They look like cute diamond patterned windows
4. The allow the light to shine through beautifully

However, whilst technically edible, in this form it's unlikely you'll be chowing down on them in a hurry. Plus not everyone is a gelatine fan either.

A great alternative is Isomalt, which if you don't know is tempered sugar. You melt the crystals then carefully pour it into the window gaps on your baked gingerbread pieces. You can even colour it although in this video I have painted it after to create a stained glass effect.

International Women's Day is less than a week away. Last year we created a gingerbead woman with a purple heart. And this year I thought it would be fun to animate it.

now I'm no videographer or film editor but thanks to the magic of AI, in this instance at least, it has done a rather lovely job!

Been doing my VAT return post gingerbread season and I'm not gonna lie it's not my favourite!

The trouble is, when you turn something you love doing into a business, inevitably you end up doing a lot of stuff you don't enjoy but are a necessary part of that.

I love gingerbread, I don't love accounts, working out what I owe HMRC, trying to decide where best to advertise, figuring out how the hell to set up PPC advertising and wondering even if I should. And if that's not enough I've just been working on our HACCP plan, CCPs and SOPs which are very important if you run a food business but also incredibly dull.

Still that's what being an entrepreneur involves with hopefully a little bit of decorating here and there when I get the chance.
