Die Wiedergeburt der Kuckucksuhr (Cuckoo Clock Reborn) by Arlena McLaren
2024 Holiday Gingerbread-Smackdown
Inspired from the architecture and cuckoo clocks of Black Forest Germany, this is a "rebirth" of a clock I did 10 years ago. I wanted to re-create it as my skills have improved. It is my tallest creation, measuring just over 18". Everything is edible. Made with 2 colors of gingerbread, fondant shingles, trim and cuckoo, edible moss greenery, isomalt windows and squid ink pasta for the window mullions. The time on the clock,11:03, is the day that I was reborn, baptized in Christ this year.
