 What a disappointment September 23, 2008

The other ratings describe our problems. The pieces don't fit together. I have made my own gingerbread houses successfully before and this is next to impossible to put together because the pieces don't match up. They aren't the same width or length as the other pieces so the whole thing won't work. Bummer. I won't buy any Wilton house kits again.
A sad dissapointment November 5, 2007

For the first time, a Wilton product has let me down. We purchased the Halloween Pre-Baked Cookie House Kit to make with our children for the first time. We have been purchasing the Christmas Gingerbread House kit for years and have been throughly pleased every year, so thought this one would be much the same. We were sorely dissapointed. We thought it might have the tray like the Christmas one has - part of what makes it so easy, but it didn't. The walls of the house do not square up. We had to go to extreme lengths just to get the main four walls to match up and kind of stick together and even then, they were not at all sturdy. We could not get the roof to go on (after the walls drying overnight) without collapsing the 4 walls. We used up nearly 1/3 of our frosting just trying this. We ended up with large frosting covered cookies, a bunch of candy that really doesn't taste that good and 2 dissapointed children. I really doubt that we're the only ones who had this kind of problem with this product. It seems as if it was almost an afterthought and just thrown together. If you're going to buy it, buy with caution.
 A Halloween Cookie House Nightmare October 21, 2007

I have to be honest. I am not a whiz at baking. That is why this pre-baked cookie house kit seemed enticing. Also, this was my first attempt to build my own cookie house. I had always wanted to build a gingerbread house but never got the chance and when I saw this Halloween Cookie Kit by Wilson, I decided to pick it up.
The first thing I noticed was the booklet of instructions. What? A booklet just to build a cookie house? It was like reading five pages of a new recipe. Luckily, most of the instructions detailed different ways that you could make the cookie house.
The kit included a little packet of candy corn, some little ball candies, a little packet of jelly beans (in Halloween colors), about ten pieces of gingerbread in the shape of a house and black and orange icing mix (also requires warm water to make the icing). As I mixed my batch of orange icing and proceeded to use it to bind the two walls of the house together, I discovered a) it's not easy to hold an icing bag AND two pieces of gingerbread at the same time and b) the icing caps provided did not fit snugly on my icing bag (thus making it nearly impossible not to squirt out huge globs of icing in one shot).
After about a half hour, I gave up on making my Halloween Gingerbread House and made out like Hansel and Gretel, nibbling on the gingerbread and candy by itself. A pretty tasty treat nonetheless.
