Gingerbread Fireplace
Christmas 2005

To continue with my compulsion for complicated gingerbread houses, this year I drafed a 1/4 inch scale model of a fireplace and chimney, the inside and outside. Each brick in the chimney was cut individually and hand placed and icing-cemented, just like real brick.
