12/22/2004: Gingerbread construction

I have watched several of these gingerbread competition shows on Food Channel.

There's a percentage of edibility (and royal frosting, despite being less tasty than library paste, is considered edible, so there's a lot of leeway) for Gingerbread Houses, but the material of construction doesn't have to be gingerbread. It's generally preferred, however, because of it's durability.

This house wasn't for any competition, it was made as the center piece for the dessert table at the holiday theme dinner for the college. Besides, I doubt it was meant to be edible seeing as how the graham crackers are frosted onto a cardboard framework.

Here it is finished at the dinner.

I love the candy canes hanging over the veggie bar.

Sugar comes from sugar cane which is a plant. Doesn't that make it a veggie?
