Gingerbread Penthouse

For F.H.E. last night we had a repeat of a popular activity from last year: gingerbread house-type structures. My group (some of whom are pictured below) created a gingerbread highrise. Josh recently moved to LV from NY and reported that it looks quite authentic.

Obviously, our gingertower was impressive, but we weren't the only creative geniuses present. I must say I admired this stadium as constructed by Christy Cropper & Co, LLC. Notice the giant helmets at the entrance and the firework lights (similar to those you will see in the Valley of Fire, NV or at Fats Pizza in Provo or next to Tiananmen Square in China).

Other gingerbread creations included:
- LV temple
- LV wedding chapel
- 2 forts
- A campsite
- A true-to-life house with plumbing and wiring (made by a couple of engineers)
- Igloo made of colored waffle cookies
- A house that looked an awful lot like Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water

We also had one regular old house professionally constructed by a chef who had brought along extra tubes of colored icing and his complete set of knives for the task.

I hope his becomes an annual tradition.
