Here are some more beautiful creations from the 2009 National Gingerbread House Competition. This one reminds me of Swedish gingerbread houses. Beautifully hand-painted edible artwork on the house.

Birdcage Gingerbread House

Here's a beautiful bird cage. This one was NOT a winner although the grand prize winner this year looked very similar (different artistic details of course). Regardless, this one was beautiful.

This gingerbread village almost appeared to be made out on branches on a tree. The details were gorgeous.

Gingerbread Dome

This was one of the top winners (I believe 1st runner up?) at the 2009 National Gingerbread House Competition. The artist won last year's grand prize with her carousel. This was as beautiful. The golden details were amazing.

Gingerbread Covered Wagon

This was a really creative gingerbread contest entry. There were sleeping cowboys around a fire, bed rolls, and really interesting details on the wagon itself.
