My husband and I always strive to create something that hasn't been done before. Musical inspiration led us to the idea of "Santa of the Opera" where Santa is playing a pipe organ. Our structure and floor are completely gingerbread. Santa and the piano keys are fondant. The music sheet is edible rice paper. We did not use candy this year because we wanted to let the gingerbread shine. Some pieces are painted with edible luster dust and flat sprinkles are used for organ knobs.
