We have resorted to the pre-rolled sheets, b/c even though it goes against everything I believe, again I know my limits, haha! And for the kids the fun part is decorating them anyway! I tried Martha Stewart's ginger bread dough one year and it worked great, the next year, it was impossible--I was on the phone with the hotel pastry chef for tips and it didn't help! BTW--they made a giant gingerbread pirate ship (our island has a history of pirates so they are always big around here, there is always a pirate ship in the parades etc.)--it is so cool!
