The Mid-Century Modern Gingerbread House
By DIY Maven
Move over graham cracker cottages; there’s a new architect on the block and she’s a mid-century modern fan. From Red Envelope, this unique twist to that old favorite features a garage and a rock garden. The 18" x 13" x 5 ½" high structure can be personalized and is 100% edible–within 30 days of unwrapping, that is. Comes fully assembled for $78 - $88, or just use the pics as inspiration to build your own. Via The Green Head.

A suggestion for dealing with "gingerbread spread" -- after baking, let the gingerbread cool slightly. Then take your pizza cutter or a knife and true up the shapes. We use this to cut out openings like windows or the skylight that the kids thought Santa needed for our chimney-less gingerbread house.

For comparison's sake--here's the Incredibles' house. Hmmm. VERY similar!

Next time maybe try pre-fab (graham crackers)

I tried to make a gingerbread house modeled after Case Study House #22 last year, but I got frustrated and just ate it. I tried using real gingerbread and baking it in customized shapes, but it spread and settled in the oven and my corners never lined up.
Tasted good, though.

Are you kidding...? I think it's great! AND it looks delicious ;)

Ok, so I saw this and loved it! I went to a friend's where they were making Gingerbread houses, but I didn't have the pictures for the inspiration. Here's what I made trying to go from memory. Kinda crappy, but I liked it.
