From The Inside Flap:

Jan Johnson works magic with gingerbread.....and now you can too! SWEET DREAMS OF GINGERBREAD will show you how to create 40 eye-catching, taste-tempting gingerbread delights. You'll find imaginative ways to "dress up" old-fashioned gingerbread boys and girls in sweet winter togs or scumptious fancy dress for extra-special party cookies. And you'll discover that gingerbread cookies come in all shapes and sizes: charming musical instruments, an adorable teddy bear family, spunky cowboys and Indians, and a fairytale prince and princess. Jann's three-dimensional projects are real show-stoppers - imagine the glorious Royal Castle as the centerpiece at a youngster's birthday party. The classic House is perfect for any occasion, and for variations on the theme there's a miniature Swiss Chalet dripping with snowy white icing and Shaker Saltbox house decorated with pilgrim and pumplin cookies for Thanksgiving. Gingerbread may become a family tradition at Christmastime, once the candy-covered Gumdrop Express stops at your home on Christmas morning. Make the fabulous three-dimensional Rocking Horse or Christmas Tree centerpiece to decorate your table, and choose from sixteen whimsical cookie designs to decorate your tree. But there's no need to save gingerbread just for Christmas. Jan had designed projects for Easter, Halloween, and Valentine's Day and plenty more that are suitable for birthday parties, baby showers, or delicious after-school treats. Every project is photographed in color to show you just how it should look when it's complete. Plenty of full-size patterns make cookie-cutting a breeze, and Jann's illustrations help you through the tricky techniques. Just follow the easy-to-understand instructions and before long you'll be decorating like a pro and creating your own sweet dreams of gingerbread.
