The Tale of the Gingerbread Lane

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is a progress; working together is a success.
- Henry Ford

Even in food, there is an art in its creation, and it is ever so evident in gingerbread. Every year, our foods class participates in the Hyatt Hotel's gingerbread contest, where gingerbread creations are displayed in the halls for three weeks. Our unit was in charge of plotting and creating the milieu of our gingerbread village.

With the gingerbread houses of the Foods Art class and the commitment of our unit's duty, we completed the village and carefully brought it to the hotel, where it is now on display.

Here is our tale in pictures:

 
The intital planning stages of the village with the centerpiece idea.
 
 
With the idea of the 'magical' theme, Wendy created these blue trees from ice cream cones and icing.
 
 
The plotting stage of the village, the addition of the oreo road and the magic tree centerpiece.
 
 
A village taking shape, with magical trees.
 
 
Simon and Wendy creating snow and blue lamp posts.
 
 
The completed village, with magic all around.
