UPDATE: Klenda won second prize!
First off, we have Klenda's excellent "Cajun Christmas." (Fr. Mark, this is for you!)
She put an amazing amount of detail in this one: swamp grass, gators, cypress knees, squirrels and Christmas lights, even algae on the water! This has to be the most challenging house she has ever done.
The idea of doing a tree house is always appealing, but doing a weight bearing tree out of edible materials is incredibly difficult.
She came up with the idea of a laminate tree: layers of gingerbread glued with royal icing, then coated with royal icing. Amazingly, it works! The tree is bomb proof! Great job, Klenda!


After a few years of doing this, I think the best gingerbreads are the ones that capture a moment, and this one is great!
I love the cobble stone path and the wolf's red nose!
For fun, she put little Swedish fish in the pond watching the wolf.
Doesn't the house look scared?
