The Candy Cottage Review

Giveway, Read More!!

Who doesn’t love making a gingerbread house at Christmas time? Spending time with the family, creating a master piece, and enjoying it all season long just rings excitement to me. The Candy Cottage allows you to experience that happiness all year long and for any occasion from birthdays to holidays or a sweet way to accessorize any season.  It is so easy to snap together and begin having lots of fun decorating without the worry of the gingerbread breaking, falling down, or not fitting properly.

We recently had the opportunity to create our very own Candy Cottage for this review, and just in time for Easter. There was a small amount of assembly, but nothing we had to have the hubby do. Once, the house was put together, the fun began with decorating. I could not believe how much time was saved just by using The Candy Cottage, rather than the traditional gingerbread kit. We never had to worry about our daughter pressing to hard when adding the decorations. The icing attached to the cottage very well with no worries of the icing sliding down the house.

The final test was moving “The Loy Creation” cottage to a spot of distinction for us to enjoy all Easter season. Moving a gingerbread house can be the end to all the fun. If you happen to forget to place the gingerbread house on a solid movable surface before starting the project, you just might cause a catastrophe. The Candy Cottage comes with its own solid foundation. We moved our cottage from one table to another while our little Izzie (the malti-poo) stood under my feet just waiting for something to fall.  Much to Izzie’s disappointment and my pleasure, the cottage safely survived the big move and I had no worries about the cottage falling apart. The weight of the cottage, even with the decorations, was very light and sturdy.
I could not have asked for a better experience with this product. The Candy Cottage was the easiest, cleanest and most fun we’ve had with building a candy house. After the season is over, I look forward to creating our next design. I am thinking, a beach house or crab shack, like the ones on The Candy Cottage website.

Happy Decorating!
