Gingerbread House Kits

Our family wants to include a gingerbread house decorating contest as a part of our Christmas party. I know that you can buy gingerbread house kits with the various pieces already baked and cut, but I don't know where. Does anyone know where these are sold in the Toronto area.

Thank you.

    I just bought one at Dominion too -- but it's not a house -- it's a train!!! My nephew will love it!

      Dominion has them too - about $12 for the kit. The house is small, but includes lots of icing and candy to decorate with.

        i grabbed one from loblaws at dupont/christie - they've got a house and a train in the bakery section

              Queen of Tarts on Roncesvalles has some. They are fantastic but not cheap. However, I would say they are well worth the price.

                Last year we picked one up at Ikea. If you're looking for multiple kits at a good price, this might not be a bad idea.

                  I was just going to post a similar question! I am looking for either a premade really, nice gingerbread house or a kit to build one. Looking for something fairly large. Any help would be appreciated.

                    Last year I got one from Laura Secord ($20). No complaints from anyone. I'm not sure, however, if they have them this year.

                    I saw these in Costco the other day, also in another store, can't remember where. If I remember I'll post it.
