Gingerbread houses are not a Hattikudur-family forte. Every year my mom (a pre-school teacher) insists that my sister and I build a gingerbread house for her classroom. And every year, what should look like a cookie-cutter house ends up looking like a Frank Gehry/Ray Charles collaboration. Perhaps that’s why I’m so astounded by the work below. It’s all pulled from a Seattle gingerbread show last year, and there’s more here. Link via the excellent Notmartha.org.


Could you put up a picture of the gingerbread house you made?

The largest gingerbread house was built last year inside the Mall of America. It was over 60ft high!

Every year the Grove Park Inn in Asheville, NC hosts a massive gingerbread house contest. Last year there was even a Food Network special on it!
