Gingerbread!

2 weeks, 12 egg whites, 6 batches of royal icing, 4 batches of gingerbread, 3 batches of hard candy, 7 bags of store bought candy, and nearly 14 pounds of powdered sugar later... We have gingerbread!

This year's entries:

Zorg's Super Christmas.
The house and yard are covered with superheroes and super villains doing battle!

That's Spiderman fighting Sandman on the roof.

Wolverine with a tied up Sabertooth is on the left.

Superman (with the cape) is in the middle with Lex Luthor (whose head has been knocked off!).

Iron Man is against the house having just thrown Iron Monger through the fence.

Next we have Klenda with Worst. Christmas. Ever.

Yes! It is a gingerbread Godzilla trashing a gingerbread city with his horrible cotton candy breath!



The rules of the contest state that the base must be plywood and everything else must be edible (except for electric lights) not even a candy wrapper is allowed!




Klenda went with the gumdrop and candy cane lights. She has tons of detail, from scorched gingerbread to careful cracks.

Last, but not least, we have Mxyl with So Maybe it Wasn't Reindeer!

We have a sweet little house, forest, and skating pond as well as a UFO with present bearing alien.

We also have a dozen or so little people reacting with everything from shock (fainted), fear (hiding in the woods), to delight (trying to climb the UFO to get the presents).
Did I mention that Leena wants to do one too?

She is too young to enter the contest, so she will do hers next week...
