My entry is the home of a mouse family in a hollow tree all ready for Christmas. My gingerbread houses is made with 100% edible materials. The tree trunk is one solid curved piece of gingerbread that I made using a handmade mold. My gingerbread is carved freehand to get the look of plank floors and wood grain. I used sugar glass for the windows, candle flames, fire in the fireplace, and amber glass bottles in the kitchen. Other ingredients include gum, coconut, fondant, royal icing, meringue
