Gingerbread architecture

Yes, I have been very quiet - also very busy. A stream of visitors forced the ringbearer to ban any cakey inventions. Apparently not everyone likes finding gummys in their chocolate brownies. However, I have been experimenting with my lebkuchen recipe and now I have a star stamp, I shall be manufacturing zimtsterne like I was the big bang.

However, I have another grand plan. No, not marshamllows in mince pies[1] but a gingerbread construct. Gingerbread houses are dull, so what to try instead? A castle? A post apocalyptic nightmare? Confuse the Christmas message with a Gingerbread mosque? A tank? A ship? Or should I keep it simple and depict some sort of naughtiness in the house? Ideas in the comments! Come on, the odder the better.

[1] Not a bad idea actually.....

  3. The saucer sounds mathematically fascinating, liek the Enterprise

    The AT-AT somewhat unstable. After all couldn't ewoks and bits of cable take them down? I'm short of ewoks in the flat but I knock a lot of stuff over

    And I like the Tardis idea, but how would I fit a surprising number of sweets inside without bending the laws of physics?
