Fellow blogger Melodie blew me away with her version of Frank Lloyd Wright's famous Fallingwater home reproduced in gingerbread. Given that she graduated from BYU in Landscape Management a few years ago and more recently from MATC's Culinary School, it does give her the perfect credentials for such a feat. Melodie began the blog Garden Melodies because she adores flowers and is hoping to expand into cake baking and catering. From the looks of this masterpiece - created with her friend Brenton for entry in the 2010 Gingerbread Festival in Orem, Utah - many people will be hoping she starts her cake business soon! all images courtesy of Garden Melodies Model Statistics: • It took over 12 hours to design • It took Brenton and Melodie around 40 hours to build and decorate • There are around 164 different pieces of gingerbread • It took roughly 12 square feet of gingerbread dough (that’s four large batches) to make all the walls, floors and roof • Over 8 bags of powdered sugar were used to make all the frosting • It took over 40 sleeves of large Smarties which are used to simulate dry stack stone on the building exterior • The river and water fall are made up of three batches of hard candy Best gingerbread house cookie recipe (according to Melodie): 2 Cups light corn syrup 1 1/2 Cups packed brown sugar 1 1/4 Cups margarine 1 teaspoon salt 9 Cups flour Melt together the corn syrup, brown sugar, and margarine. Mix till smooth then add in flour and salt. Bake for 15 to 20 min at 350 degrees.
