Re: Holiday spirit in Gingerbread form

This is great Paul. And a nice companion to your piece from last year. I love the idea of the Gingerbread beast. What a wonderful fight that would be to get into.

 

Re: Holiday spirit in Gingerbread form

That looks awesome and super delicious.

 

Re: Holiday spirit in Gingerbread form

This just kick's azz!!!!
I can see little stop motion puppet guys from all the childhood X-mas shows being decimated by this thing!!!

Can we see some of the previous ones!?!

 

Re: Holiday spirit in Gingerbread form

Thanks.

Here's last years. Wayy smaller and made of Graham crackers. This year we baked our Gingerbread from scratch. Can't wait for next year!

 

Re: Holiday spirit in Gingerbread form

Holy crap, this thing's gonna give me nightmares and how the hell'd you get it to stand on two legs!
If I see one of these on the floor tonight I'm going to Betty Ford for "Health Reasons".
Rocks!!!!

 

Re: Holiday spirit in Gingerbread form

so awesome.

between the gingerbread monster houses and some of those tasty dishes you whip up, you might consider opening up a Kaiju Restaurant! lol....!

 

Re: Holiday spirit in Gingerbread form

Beyond amazing, Paul!

Re: Holiday spirit in Gingerbread form

That is wonderful - love the centipede thingy...

 

Re: Holiday spirit in Gingerbread form

Whoa - both of those are frightfully delicious. I've been thinking about doing a gingerbread house with the kids for Halloween -- those are great inspiration! Thanks for sharing the pics.

Re: Holiday spirit in Gingerbread form

What a groovy idea. My niece's traditional houses are getting lame and I needed an idea for next year!

 

Re: Holiday spirit in Gingerbread form

Hey Paul, any chance we'll be getting another one this year?

 

Re: Holiday spirit in Gingerbread form

Yup a waiting for the yummy scary!!!

 

Re: Holiday spirit in Gingerbread form

After taking last year off from doing it I decided to take a break from everything else and make this one.
It took me two days. I made the dough a week in advance from a recipe in a book I won in a Food Network contest for the first one I made.
This year I'm taking notes, there's so much more you can before baking and assembly to really give more texture and color without
risking a whole day's worth of work in one drop.
Nothing like something so damn stressful, that's only temporary.
