Gourmet Gingerbread Houses

My mom and I checked out some awesome gingerbread houses at the Seattle Sheraton this year. They have a competition every year, and the teams have to get sponsors, architects, bakers, and more. It's pretty intense, and actually gets donations to support worthy causes. I think the theme this year was comic books...hence all of the batman, etc.

Here's my cute mom posing outside:

This was my favorite house...it's hard to see but all of the angles of the house are cartoon-ish, and inside each window was a little scene like a barber's, doctor's office, fire station, etc and they were all made completely of candy. Very intricate!

Mom and Mario...yes, all candy

This was pretty awesome...it was made to look like some kid's desk and even the wood, comic book, staplers, lamp were all candy.
