What is better than house–shaped gingerbread, frosting, gumdrops, candy, icing, M & M's, and more candy to celebrate Christmas? Wonderfully decorated by our friend Peyton, this gingerbread house shows that whimsy is all the rage in edible edifices. In fact, Gothamist thinks that more actual buildlings should incorporate gingerbread men to their roofs or gables.
And notice, along with the gummy bear roofing, the dreidel siding, because, as Peyton says, "We're all a little Jewish sometimes." Truer were words never uttered!
