Bilbo Baggins’ cozy home has been turned into cookies, cupcakes, cakes, gingerbread, and more. Considering that hobbits eat multiple meals a day, I think they would approve.
Baker Semi Sweet came up with the above hobbit hole door cookies, and I love them. Such a fun idea.

This is Ponyville recreated from the perspective DeviantArt artist Artist Liebatron using gingerbread and loads of icing to hold everything together. It’s madness.
You can find several of the ponies, including Cheerilee and Twilight Sparkle, prancing about the village, because of course it wouldn’t be Ponyville without the actual ponies (not edible—don’t eat the ponies).

Far from providing inter-ship communication in the 22nd century, this gingerbread variation on the Star Trek communicator will only work to send messages to your brain and stomach that say “eat me”. Here’s how it was made:
I cut out the pattern pieces on thick card paper and then used that to cut out the cookie pieces. I froze the dough before cooking as this helps it keep its shape. I used royal icing (1 egg white, add icing sugar until the desired consistency is reached) for all decorations, as well as for gluing the pieces together. Toothpicks and scrunched up pieces of plastic wrap are both very useful to use as prop-ups while waiting for the royal icing to dry when gluing the pieces together.
If Barad-dûr was actually made of gingerbread, it would have been a lot easier to take Sauron down!

The seat of House Stark is majestic, old, and beautiful. Even though it’s freezing, I think Winterfell is an amazing place. Liquorsnapper must agree: she’s constructed a gingerbread version of the noble castle. She includes the primary structure, the walls and gates, the House Stark sigil, and the godswood. There’s even an adorable direwolf.
It looks like she chose a variety of goodies to make the replica. She obviously used gingerbread for the house part, graham crackers for the wall, Pocky, Piroulines, peanut butter cups, shortbread, gum drops and more. Her mini Winterfell is creative, and I’m impressed with all the details. So impressed that I wouldn’t try to eat it. Probably.

Chances are you know someone who is obsessed with Downton Abbey. The happenings at Downton are sordid, fascinating, and altogether engrossing. And the home is just as much as character as the inhabitants. Cookie artist Curtis Jensen has painstakingly recreated the formidable estate in gingerbread, and the result is just gorgeous.
Check out a time-lapse video of the construction after the break.

In a nod to the multi-million-dollar expense of the original craft, the top is scattered with chocolate gold coins. A shades-wearing Santa sits aloft amid candy canes and lollipops. Hanging out on the Martian surface, which is made up of real rocks and rock crystal sugar dusted with cinnamon and brown sugar, are Yoda, Darth Vader, Buzz Lightyear and a three-eyed red Martian.

Someone tried to copy the gingerbread Companion Cube at the top. The one at the bottom is the final product. So close.
