The Gingerbread Construction Co.
About
The Gingerbread Construction Co. is a small-batch bakery that makes handcrafted gingerbread and gingerbread cookies year-round to celebrate the seasons and holidays. Alongside its gingerbread, the bakery makes gourmet muffins, cookies and biscotti fresh daily and serves them with coffee. It operates retail bakeries in Wakefield and Winchester and sells gift boxes, including a deluxe collection, for shipping and gifting.
John D’Orsi founded the company in 1980 and sold out at his first Christmas trade show. Demand led to a production facility in Woburn in 1992, and a second retail store opened in Wakefield in 1996. The bakery launched online ordering for nationwide shipping in 2003 and has appeared on the Food Network’s “Roker on the Road” and “Unwrapped,” as well as ABC’s “The Chew.” It still bakes from the same family recipes.
