Politics interjected itself again this year when Scott Pullman and Molly Schlesinger created this apparently harmless baby food factory.  Alas, the truth came out once destruction (in the form of a hammer) descended upon the edifice.  Plastic soldiers and a helicopter add the military effect.  Shavings from the gingerbread are used quite well to create the ground.  Winner of the "Most Likely to have International Repercussions" award, the "Best Carnage" award, and the "Best Performance Art" award.

(Ego Alert - Ego Alert) I admit it, this one's mine. Crushed Shredded Wheat comprise the roof and the walls.  Marshmallows and pretzel sticks are used for the fence. The Big Bad Wolf is finishing lunch (remains to the left, bbq pit with charred remains to the right), and is contemplating the porker above him.  The large pig's thoughts, sadly, remain its own.  Winner of the "Most Likely to Frighten Little Children" award, the "Best Use of Unsweetened Cereal" award, and the "Most Furfuraceous" award.

Just about every type of candy available was used in this Alexis Willihnganz creation.  Candy Korn, M&Ms,  Sweet Tarts, and Life Savers are used on the roof to create a tiled effect.  Winner of the "Least Filling and Greatest Tasting" award, the "Yummiest" award, and the "Best One to be Stranded on a Dessert Island With" award. 

   Jolly space aliens stand watch at the sides and on the rooftop, while candy canes mark the corner posts of the house.  Blue and green jimmies have been sprinkled on the roof, giving it a sparkle effect.  Winner of the "Mintiest" award, the "Most Stable" award, the "Cyborg Family Values" award, and the "Paula Bangela Memorial Award for the best use of Science Fiction Characters."  Presented by Kim and Alan Johnson.

Still not enough?

Have you seen any good gingerbread houses on the net? Let me know and I'll post a picture here for all to see.
