This year I wanted to do a gingerbread village, but I didnt know where in my house I could put it without the pets getting to it. I looked at my wondow box coffee table and inspiatuon struck! There is a church, bakery, bookstore, flower shop/greenhouse, post office, and bridge made all with edible materials. We used, isomalt, gelatin sheets, and hard candies for the windows, isomalt also for the pond. We used wafters, pretzels, candy spheres, gumpdrops, hard candy, candy sticks for decorations.
