Here are some pictures of my Gingerbread Competition Design.

Are the people made out of fondant? I love your work. That is like I like watching cake boss and the Ultimate cake off, but I am sure I could just make a ball instead of what I vision in my head.

Thanks everyone! I am having a BLAST doing this!

MarshallandCartersmo.....yes, the cardboard is only the model and will NOT be included in the finished design. Everything must be edible. The only thing non edible is the base board and any covering that goes around the board.

dis-happy.....yes, the chapel is made entirely of royal icing, and rather fragile. I have 3 more ready to go, just in case this one breaks on the way to the Grove Park Inn. I am also using sheet gelatin, painted with food color mixed with Vodka for the stained glass windows.

hereyago...yes, the people are made out of mostly gum paste mixed with just a bit of fondant. The gum paste dries very quickly and mixing it with a bit of fondant gives me more time to work.

I am still pretty much a beginner. This is only my second big design and this one is MUCH MUCH more complicated than last year. My people have been a learning process and when you see the finished design you can definitely tell the ones I made first.

I'll keep the pictures coming.
