Every Christmas when I was young, we had sugar cookie decorating parties at our house.
My mom would spend the day baking sugar cookies in festive holiday shapes, mixing colourful icing, and filling little bowls with candy and sprinkles. My friends and I would gather around the kitchen table, creating our masterpieces, proudly showing them off, enjoying the finished cookies, and, of course, sneaking a few treats from the bowls along the way.
Looking back, it wasn’t really about the cookies.
It was about spending time together, laughing, being creative, and making memories.
When I opened Bake Sale over 22 years ago, I wanted to recreate that same experience for other families. That’s how our Sugar Cookie Decorating Kits were born.
Over the years we’ve expanded the collection to include Gingerbread House Decorating Kits as well. They’ve become a holiday tradition for many of our customers because we take care of the hardest part—we build the house for you so you can skip straight to the decorating.
Today our decorating kits are one of our most popular activities for birthdays, playdates, family nights, rainy days, sleepovers, classroom celebrations, grandparent visits, girls’ nights, gatherings with friends, team-building events, and corporate holiday parties. Whether you’re five or fifty-five, decorating cookies is a fun, creative way to bring people together.

Why Families (and Businesses) Choose Bake Sale’s Cookie Decorating Kits
You can find decorating kits at some grocery stores and big-box retailers, but there are some important differences.
Our sugar cookies are made completely from scratch in our bakery and baked fresh—not months in advance.
We use premium royal icing, generous amounts of colourful sprinkles and candy, and we never skimp on the decorations. The cookies don’t just look beautiful—they taste delicious too.
Everything is included, so there’s no preparation required before the fun begins.
Whether you’re decorating with your children, hosting friends, entertaining clients, or bringing your team together for a holiday celebration, our kits make it easy to create a memorable experience.

Gingerbread Houses Without the Frustration
Our Gingerbread House Decorating Kits are another customer favourite.
After years of listening to our customers, we heard the same thing over and over:
“I love decorating gingerbread houses—but I hate building them!”
So we solved the problem.
Every Bake Sale gingerbread house comes fully assembled, allowing you to skip straight to the fun part.
Like everything we bake, our gingerbread houses are made from scratch and baked fresh in our bakery. We include plenty of royal icing and high-quality decorations, so you can enjoy decorating without worrying about collapsing walls or running out of icing.
Unlike many kits sold in grocery stores, our gingerbread houses aren’t baked months in advance. They’re meant to be decorated and enjoyed, because they taste just as good as they look.

More Than Cookies
Some of the sweetest memories aren’t made on expensive vacations or at elaborate parties.
Sometimes they’re made around the kitchen table—or around the boardroom table—with colourful icing, sprinkles everywhere, lots of laughter, and freshly baked sugar cookies.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, planning a girls’ night, organizing a corporate team-building event, hosting a holiday party, looking for a unique hostess gift, or starting a new family tradition, our Cookie Decorating Kits make every gathering a little sweeter.
We’d love to help create the perfect decorating kit for your next celebration.
