I suppose the appropriate name would be the Cookery. *ba-dum-cha!*

I think trying to build a gingerbread anything based on a Frank Gehry design would break someone's spirit. A gingerbread Monadnock Building would be amazing, though. That is, if you're into a Burnham and Root sort of vibe.

The light shining through the Jolly Ranchers is just incredible! Kudos to you, Shannon!

Now someone needs to make a gingerbread pritzker pavillion. Also, a gingerbread Sky Gate.

I love the stained glass windows. And this was your first? What are you doing for the followup?

I think Wendy McClure's gingerbread Francisco CTA station has to be a very close second: http://flickr.com/photos/wendymc/325388314/ The licorice third rail is genius.

There needs to be some sort of major award for this perfect storm of holiday cheer, architecture nerdom, AND baking skillz. Like a Nobel Prize of Gingerbread or something...
