✨Happy New Year Gingerbread family✨
The 2024 season was filled with so much joy, laughter, and creative moments thanks to you all!

This year's goal is to increase workshop opportunities in each geographical area of Charleston and offer 3-5 exclusive slots for private party bookings. Workshop dates are usually set by Aug 15th- it's never too early to book your event! 🗓️

If you have a venue recommendation for public workshops in Mt P or WA, or feedback on how to make your event more magical I would love to hear from you!

Enjoy all the adventures 2025 has in store. I'll be seein' yall later this year! 🎄☃️💚🍭

We had the honor of ending the season with this energetic family! ❤ They conjured up so much imagination and creativity. We attempted to build a candy tornado next to a small deconstructed house but couldn’t get the structure to stay. Already brainstorming how to build a solid tornado next year. 🤔💡

Wow what a workshop this was 😌

First of all, Estuary Beans & Barley is simply amazing! From the calm Christmas atmosphere, to the super friendly staff, to the delicious grub they have on site. They went all out with Christmas decor this year and of course their fresh coffee and delicious unique brews always hit the spot.

Second of all, we had such an AMAZING diverse group of builders. Two of our regular builders came to build with us again. Seriously thank you guys for making Sweets On The House a part of your yearly tradition. We also had new builders and some outside-the-box architects that took it to another level with xtra gingerbread pieces… literally. 😅
