I enjoy making gingerbread creations that kids like to see.
This year's entry is a ship on top of a coral reef with skeletons. Inspired by "The Curse of the Black Pearl"
The Ship is out of Gingerbread.
Masts are large pretzel rods.
Sails are rice paper treated with Dr. Pepper.
Ropes are from pasta.
The reef is made out of sugar crystals, graham crackers, melted chocolate, scrapes. Sand is out of crumbs.
Skeletons, Jack & swords, etc. are made out of gum paste/fondant.
