It looks like a house out of a Thomas Kincade picture. please give more details on your beautiful creation! How large is it? How long did it take you? Did you win?

Thanks so much for all of the comments!!! I won in the 3rd week by the wilton judges, I did nit win the grand prize. This house is made out of home-made ginger bread. I only used royal icing to construct. I have never did this before, I loved doing it though, I am fasinated with architecture. I worked on it a couple of months then I looked for a contest. This house is preserved and I dont think I would ever get rid of it. I love to look at it.

Hi, I just kept putting together gingerbread. I had alot of extra peices and just added. I supported the peices and let it dry, then came back the next day to start adding the brick. Every bbrick is piped on. When that dried, i painted it, using a paper plate and thinned dpwn food color. just like a palate. Every decoration is royal icing. It is preserved!!! I sprayed it with varnish. Thanks for the comments
