Build a Gingerbread House

The object of this contest is to build a real life Gingerbread House using edible materials! This is not a digital contest, so no digital entries. You can't eat pixels.


Rules

1. Your Gingerbread House must be built by using any type of food. You are not required to use gingerbread. You are free to use crackers, other types of bread, chocolate, candy, etc. However, you must use real food in this contest! The small use of non food items (like toothpicks) are allowed to improve the structural integrity of your submission. They must be used sparingly though and it must be obvious that your submission consists of actual edible materials.

2. When building your Gingerbread House, you must take at least 3 pictures of the process with your Username and "2019 Winter Festival" physically visible. Here is a link to last year's contest for reference:

2018 Winter Festival - Build a Gingerbread House

3. When you are finished with your entry, come back to this thread and post it here.

4. You must create your entry on your own! You cannot have someone else build your Gingerbread House for you, although having some assistance is perfectly fine and reasonable. All submissions must also be brand new; you cannot use previous submissions. Lastly, please try and come up with your own unique designs. Obviously, using a kit is okay to do and those will probably be similar because kits are generally universal. What I am referring to would be copying someone else's previous design from a past contest and redoing it as your own, as some of you have come up with some pretty awesome unique designs in the past.

If you have never created a Gingerbread House before, here are some handy tutorials to get you started:

5. Please do not reserve posts. Only post when you are ready to submit an entry. If your entry is still ongoing, you may post early with the progress that you currently have and edit your post as you finish.

6. Please do not ping me unless you have a specific question or concern that I need to address. Thank you.

7. The due date for submitting your entry is by the end of the Winter Festival. Please refer to the eventual Overview thread for this final date. Please note, this contest is being posted early, so no Overview thread is available yet.


Prizes

All submissions will be judged by Krinadon and Faiona. We will announce winners for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. Everyone who submits a valid entry will be awarded nice participation prizes including the Title: Gingerbread Architect.

Above all else, have fun! These contests are just meant to be fun. =)

Heres my entry-
I made it last week so I wrote the date in stead of Winter Festival, so hopefully thats fine but if its not, please let me know and Ill take it down~

That's fine :)

Made this a few weeks back. Didn't know I had to include the year of the competition, but I did it this year, as my username is kinda proof because I didn't have it last year. Due to lack of supplies, it's not much.

door and chimney


snow start and decor


finished!


ingredients:
waffles
peanut butter
ramen noodle
popcorn
mint xmas twinkie

Ok first step, Create the "globe" part of my snowglobe. It is sugar, water and glucose syrup poured over a balloon filled with water to create what looks like glass



First attempt tipped when i poured the sugar mixture and exploded xD

oops

Next attempt i doubled my mixture and put the water balloon in a more stable bowl to hold it


That looks better :D

Next to make my chocolate house. I used a block kitkat and 4 lindt bars for the base and walls/roof.


Chocolate broke when i tried to cut it xD im still pretty happy with how it ended tbh
