    I wonder if some simple 3D design software & a 3D printer could help her model the templates easier & without as much tweaking needed? That might save her some time & stress during the holidays.

      Depends on whether or not she is a tactile thinker. Sometimes people can process information better working with different materials and their hands vs a mouse/keyboard/computer screen.

    Their popularity rose when the Brothers Grimm wrote the story of Hansel and Gretel, in which the main characters stumble upon a house made entirely of treats deep in the forest. It is unclear whether or not gingerbread houses were a result of the popular fairy tale, or vice versa.😄😄😄😄
