Handmade Gingerbread Houses Hit The Market At Pechanga

The creations come fully loaded and turnkey for gift giving, or for hanging onto for one's own sweet tooth satisfying gratification.

From Pechanga Resort: Although existing home sales have begun to slide nationwide, housing starts inside of one southern California casino/resort are picking up steam and will likely top analysts’ expectations. Pechanga Resort Casino’s in-house bakery team is preparing, constructing and decorating hand-crafted gingerbread houses and offering them to prospective buyers at a nominal cost for home ownership. These units, which may be purchased individually or several at a time to create neighborhood continuity, come fully loaded and turnkey for gift giving, or for hanging onto for one’s own sweet tooth satisfying gratification.

Those looking for a brand new gingerbread home can find them in the easily accessed location of Blends Coffee & Wine Bar just inside the Pechanga Hotel Lobby. Each home features distinct décor and amenities such as hand-drawn insulation (icing) and real curb appeal with colorful holiday sweet treats lining the outside. If buyers are careful transporting the homes, no insurance is required, property tax is waived and goodwill equity can be earned by giving one of the Pechanga gingerbread homes to someone else. These handmade gingerbread houses come in 10-inch by six inch floor plan for $45. They are on the market now through Christmas, or until all units have been snapped up by buyers.

New this year to the gingerbread housing lineup are sweet DIY homes. The pre-fab constructs come ready to assemble with every piece of décor and adornments ready for prospective buyers’ imaginations. Ideas can come from anywhere, home hunter TV shows, house magazines, or one’s own artistic eye. Each ready-to-make home kit comes fully stocked with oversized, sealed piping bags of white, green and red royal icing, plenty of sprinkles, and an assortment of hard and gummy candies for decoration. The kit homes create the same size structures as the premade ones done by the Pechanga bakers. The kits are $35 and on sale now through Christmas at Blends Coffee & Wine Bar and are perfect for families and friends to share a holiday experience together.
