Gingerbread garden

I thought you guys would get a kick out of the gingerbread house I made this weekend. Inspired by the garden that was included in the White House's gingerbread house, I added a garden in front of my house.

I used a gingerbread cookie recipe from Williams-Sonoma. It tastes delicious, has a great mix of spices, and doesn't "spread" at all, very important for cookie architecture!

My husband suggested using twizzlers for bricks. Lettuce and peppermint watermelons.

Spearmint shrubs, carrots, tomatoes, eggplants

At the far right are squash, parsnips, and chocolate M&Ms (potatoes?)
