McLaren Service Station: Inspired by a photo of a gas station along Route 66. It celebrates by family's love for anything automotive and the parked police cruiser is in honor of my husband's retirement this year, after a 28-year career in law enforcement. The cardinal is in honor of my mother-in-law who passed in October. Structure made from construction grade gingerbread. The brick pattern was embossed by hand. Fondant and candy create the details. The oil drum and box, hide the light switch.
