It was time for Elmer the elf to move his house to a warmer climate so he called on his elf friends to help. And more importantly Dasher the tortoise made it possible. The tiered house and the tortoise are made of gingerbread, though the core of the Dasher the tortoise is rice treats. All the elves were hand modeled using Smartflex, an edible modeling compound, as we’re all the greenery and other adornments. The “gravel” pathway is actually a wheat cereal from Russia. This is one of my favorites.
