12/22/2004: Gingerbread construction

http://cellar.org/2004/gingerbreadhouse.jpg xoB sent along the CPU and I'm just trying to one-up him with the gingerbread HOUSE. The house is apparently gone now as residents complained about the problems you'd expect to have living next to a gingerbread house: Now they have agreed to dismantle the house after inspectors said it was a health risk. Residents in Hietzing, located near Schoenbrunn's imperial palace, a popular destination for tourists, claim that rats and other animals have been attracted by pieces of gingerbread that have been knocked off the wooden frame by the wind. full story A gingerbread computer makes much more sense, an impressive little work that is. |
Usually around this time of year food channel runs a show on gingerbread competitions.
There are some amazingly strange, focused people out there building gingerbread houses. Which, at competition level, are really more like gingerbread McMansions, complete with gingerbread hummers. |
Uh, wouldn't that be a GBPU? ;)
|
CookiePU ... it works. Gingerbread, although called a bread, is, in this formation, a cookie. You can't build much with bready gingerbread ...
|
Somebody been overclocking it too much and fried the whole thing.. :p
|
YUMMMMMMM :love:
|
If you cut it into really small pieces, you would then have several giga-bites worth of gingerbread cpu...
Thanks folks, I'm here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitresses. |
That's just silly. It'd never work with that candy connected in reverse polarity! :o)

My cousin runs the food services at University of Connecticut and made this house for this years Christmas Holiday Theme Dinner. While it's not exactly gingerbread I thought it was pretty cool.
He said he made the whole thing by himself, took him 4 days using 70 cups of sugar, 2 cases of graham crackers and a box of mini shredded wheats. It's 4 feet long and 3 feet high and he put pictures of his staff in the 26 windows. |
It is awesome! But are graham crackers in the guidelines? Was he cheating?? <G>

I have watched several of these gingerbread competition shows on Food Channel.
There's a percentage of edibility (and royal frosting, despite being less tasty than library paste, is considered edible, so there's a lot of leeway) for Gingerbread Houses, but the material of construction doesn't have to be gingerbread. It's generally preferred, however, because of it's durability. |
