These are electric, I will post a picture of one lit up when I get the next bunch of orders done. I only sell these local, I don't think they would make the shipping process. They are all scented in cinnamon gingerbread. They do take some time, but I do them in batches. I cake decorated for 10 years...and I used to enter gingerbread contests. This was a way to incorporate my cake decorating with wax...LOL. And they last for a long time, unlike intricate real gingerbread houses. Thanks for the nice compliments!
