The piece is titled, "The Bakers". Fred and Ginger are 22" tall and made of baked gingerbread. The bodies were baked over an egg shaped pan, heads over a hemisphere pan, legs around a rolling pin and feet over another hemisphere pan. The arms are krispie treats covered in thin strips of edible paper and edible glue. The figures are then covered in unbaked gingerbread dough that dries like leather. They were then covered in edible glue and finally covered in a mixture of gingerbread cookie crumbs and spices. The house is gingerbread, and all the decorations on both the figures and the house are done in fondant and gumpaste. The entire structure is made of edible materials, including internal supports. I am pleased to announce that I took third place overall with this piece!
