What are past Gingerbread workshop families saying?
“The Gingerbread workshop was the perfect holiday event for our family. Relaxed and chill enough for my sleeping 5 mo old, yet engaging and fun for my preschooler. It was a much needed break from the chaos!”
“I brought my 2 year old and her friend. They had a blast and a year later, my daughter is still talking about it! She already considers it a holiday tradition."
"This has been a true blessing to my family. Allergy parents sometimes have to spend a large amount of energy and resources to provide their kids with normal everyday things. This is the only event I have attended where food was involved that I have felt relaxed at and where my children could eat anything they wanted. We were happy with the variety and asked for the few things we wanted more of and that worked out just great. I hope you all continue to have this event, and I am truly thankful for it!"
“My son has a peanut allergy. It was so nice for me to be able to tell him that he could eat anything he wanted and could eat and create and there was no stress at all. And, it was super nice for me as a parent – I would have easily spent as much purchasing 1 bag of each candy just so he could have a variety of candy and with no one to really split the cost. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!"
“I brought my own three kids plus a friend to a workshop, and all four of them had a great time working on two houses. The quantity and variety of candy was definitely very sufficient! After the workshop, I was quietly offered the option of taking home our unused candy which I declined, though I'm sure my girls would have jumped at the offer if it hadn't been whispered to me only. (Thanks to whichever mom knew to ask me quietly!)”
