Building Magic: 4 Creative Color Themes for Your DIY Gingerbread House - Red & Green, Pastel, Rainbow and Blue & White

November 23, 2024

The holidays are the perfect time to dive into creative projects, and what better to get into the festive spirit than by building and decorating your own gingerbread house? At All City Candy, we make the process easy and enjoyable with Pre-baked Gingerbread House Pieces, Icing, and a variety of candies for every decorating need. 

White & Blue Themed DIY Gingerbread House

The Blue & White theme is all about icy elegance. Start by using Mini chickles to create window panes or texture on the roof. You can also line the driveway with jelly beans to give your house a snowy path. Don’t forget the chimney—decorate it with Gumballs or add frosty Rock candy string for an icy look. These small details bring your gingerbread house to life and make it uniquely yours. 

Adding snowflake-like details is easy with Warheads blue cubes or Airheads taffy, which can be cut into small pieces for windows or borders. The key is to play with textures and colors—mix soft, fluffy Fluffy Stuff cotton candy with the hard sparkle of rock candy string for a magical, frosted effect. The blue-and-white color palette will make your gingerbread house look like a snowy dream come true.

Rainbow Themed DIY Gingerbread House

For the Rainbow gingerbread house theme, you’ll have a blast creating a vibrant, colorful masterpiece! Start by using Rainbow Jawbreakers to create a striking border along the roof or around the windows, bringing a burst of color to your design. You can line the driveway with Skittles or M&Ms, adding a sweet and colorful path that draws the eye. Sour candy belts and candy strips are perfect for wrapping around the roof or creating a fun fence along the base of the house. These candies come in a variety of bold colors, letting you mix and match for a playful, festive look.

To really bring the Rainbow theme to life, add some extra holiday cheer with holiday-themed candy buttons or candy sticks or canes, which can be placed around windows, doors, or even as a fence around the house. Decorate with gummy candies in all the colors of the rainbow, or hang rainbow-colored candy canes from the roof for a fun, festive touch. Holiday lights (real or candy!) can wrap the house to give it that magical glow. With Jolly Gingerbread Gummi Candy and Sweetarts for extra texture, your gingerbread house will be a colorful and joyful celebration of the season!

Pastel colors themed DIY Gingerbread House

For pastel color lovers, the Pastel Rainbow gingerbread house theme is all about soft, dreamy hues that evoke a sense of sweetness and charm. Start by using pastel candy buttons to outline windows or add fun details along the edges of the roof. You can add colorful touches with mini Starburst fruit chews, which can be cut into small pieces to create a mosaic-like design for the roof or walls. Marshmallow poles are perfect for creating a soft, fluffy texture around the house, adding a whimsical touch. For an elegant look, use M&M’s milk chocolate pastel colors to create pathways, decorate the door, or add accents along the roofline.

To finish off your pastel-themed gingerbread house, add delicate touches like Brach’s tiny conversation hearts, Gilliam cotton candy soft sticks, and nonpareils for a bit of sparkle. You can also use mini Misty Mints or Jordan almonds to add texture and variety to your design. These pastel-colored candies will bring a light, playful feel to your gingerbread house, perfect for those who love soft colors and sweet, nostalgic candy treats. With the combination of soft pastel tones and gentle textures, your gingerbread house will feel like a cozy, colorful dream.
