What our students are saying

“I thought I had to have some special talent to be able to decorate beautiful gingerbreads, and I am very surprised that it is completely different. I learned the hand-held technique, and suddenly I am decorating patterns I thought I would have to learn for several years. My grandmother comes from Poland, where they decorate a lot, but her back and neck always hurt. Nothing hurts me, and my grandmother is thrilled with how clever I am!”

— Lubica, USA

Before you start decorating

We'll teach you the alphabet of decorating

Most courses throw you into the deep end. We teach you to swim first. The Decorating Fundamentals module contains 15 lessons where you'll master all the basic strokes and shapes.

Teardrops, spirals, S-curves, grids, arcs, mid-air line work... Only after mastering these will we let you move on to the proprietary techniques.

Your journey

The Gingerbread Academy isn't just a course. It's a complete education system that guides you step by step.

A story of tradition

Learn from a master who gave gingerbread the soul of embroidery

"Long before I decorated my first gingerbread, I was devoted to textile techniques. My grandmother taught me to work with needle and thread."

— shares PhDr. Dana Holmanová

Thanks to her studies in literary history and ethnography, PhDr. Holmanová connected her practical skills with academic knowledge. When she started decorating gingerbread, she wasn't constrained by any "this is how it must be done."

At the Gingerbread Academy, we're not selling you just a course. We're passing on 20 years of experience from a woman who elevated her craft to art.
