A gingerbread dream house

endearing holiday tradition is the making of gingerbread houses.
They represent some of the best parts of the season: gathering
friends and family, making things together with your children, and
(my favorite part) filling your kitchen with the smell of
gingerbread. Most of us construct basic little houses, decorating
them with candy canes, gumdrops, and powdered sugar snow.

structure.
She spent 340 hours making her latest creation, beginning her planning in April, and ending with an 870-mile drive to display it. All of her hard work paid off: she won the 24th Annual National Gingerbread Competition held in Asheville, North Carolina. What’s even more amazing is that this was her first time entering a gingerbread competition.
Müller discusses her awe-inspiring “Dream House” with Bon Appetit magazine. Her inspiration was the work of painter Daniel Merriam. She says “He does the most beautiful, magical architectural paintings. I see his art and always wonder, ‘Could I do that in a cake?’ I thought this was the perfect opportunity to see.” Click through to Bon Appetit’s website to view full-size photos stunning house.
