Every year in our stake each family is asked to donate a gingerbread house. The theme this year is Gingerbread Around the World. Ryan and I quickly decided that the Taj Mahal was beyond our capabilities so we drew upon our international pictures; and what do I have tons and tons of pictures of? Fruit stands. Ryan was in charge of drafting the design, I made the gingerbread (the first time ever), Ryan put the walls together, I made about a bazillion stars, Ryan put the roof on and I made some sweet bananas and sign. Here is the final result, click on the picture to see the process.
Here is the gingerbread house that I made and we decorated at our Relief Society Enrichment Meeting. We called it Christmas in Pompeii.

You two are amazing! I can't even begin to understand how you managed to make a authentic fruitstand. It's great! And delicious looking too! And I'm glad that you're teaching Helen young. It's never to early to start playing, I mean working, with candy and frosting.
It looks fantastic! Clearly you've built on your gingerbread house making skills since we worked on them at OSU- remember that? I believe that one had graham cracker walls. This, this is much more impressive!
AWESOME! That is brilliant! I love, love, love it. :-D
Very well done! That is awesome. It seems unreal that it is actually kind of Christmas time. 80 degree weather doesn't lend itself well to the Christmas spirit!
Every year I try to make a gingerbread house, and every year it is pretty lousy...I am amazed at how awesome and creative yours are!
