We’ve all heard the German fairytale, “Hansel and Gretel.” Two children, a brother and a sister named Hansel and Gretel, venture into the woods and come across a gingerbread house. Tempted by the candy and assorted sweets the children began to indulge and snack their way through parts of the house. To their horror, a witch comes out of the house mid-feast and threatens to eat them. Fortunately the children successfully outwit the witch and escape being the victims of cannibalism in this fairytale. In our Gingerbread House backdrop we see the iconic candy-constructed house that may or may not be home to a witch. Red licorice serves as awning for the house while icing decorates the exterior. Lollipops substitute flowers in the upstairs terrace and candy canes serve as pillars. Chocolate candy doors swing open, revealing a small part of the inside of the gingerbread house. Candy corn hangs from vines in the garden and above the windows we get a glimpse of the roof, which might just be the best part. Cookies stacked on cookies layer the roof and give a shingled appearance. Rainbow chocolate chips can be seen in the cookies and gumdrops of all colors line the roof. A waffle chimney emerges from the roof with smoke wafting out of the candy pipes. Try not to drool or eat this backdrop when you rent or purchase it for your special event!
