Am I being overly hopeful or does anyone know if I can find one of these around Seoul? I don't live too close to a Homeplus or Emart so I can't just pop in to check. I'm specifically looking for the kind that you can make yourself so I can make it with my girlfriend.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

if you have a small oven/grill, it shouldnt be too difficult to make gingerbread.
You can buy all the ingredients in korea.

Unfortunately I live in an Asian sized shoe box and don't even have a gas-range let alone a stove so cooking anything like that is out of the question.ㅠㅠ
Thanks for the tip though^^

last year, I went to my friends apartment and borrowed their cooker for a few hours while I made my stuff.

Cant you try that?

There's a french bakery downstairs at my Shinsegae (in Incheon, but probably at the Seoul ones). I saw them, though didn't inquire as to the prices.

Cheers, thanks for the help^^ I guess I'll go searching around some bakeries and try to get out to Shinsegae if I can.
Merry Christmas!

I've heard of making Christmas houses out of wafer cookies and cream cheese frosting. Never tried it myself though.

I've never made a gingerbread house but always wanted to.. There is a German bakery in the Itaewon are, closer to Hangangjin Station called Wein. Maybe they have them. Or, you could go online to some site like Ebay, Amazon, etc and buy a kit.

i'm making some out of graham crackers minus the graham crackers since they don't sell them here. it's going to be an experiment with my kids at school.

You don't need to cook the dough to make gingerbread. I've seen recipes for making it out of bread. You break up the bread and mix it with a liquid containing the other ingredients. While it's still hot, it's like dough. When it cools off and dries out, it tastes very much like regular gingerbread. I haven't done it for years, but it's very easy. I've done it with kids before. I'm sure you can find the instructions online.

I havent seen any you can make yourself. However, I have seen several very pretty ones for sale in the department stores (shinsagae, hyundai)
There's also a bakery chain (I think its called Goom Teo, possibly with Bang in there) selling them. Theres a branch next to homeplus at nonhyeon station on line 7.
