Cool Gingerbread Houses

I'm inspired to try some modern gingerbread houses next year. Or maybe for a Christmas in July party?

I love the icicles...they remind me of the ones on St Bart's in New York after Christmas.

And, while not a building, the Gingerbread Serenity is pretty clever!

And then there's the original gingerbread house...the one the witch built to trap Hansel and Gretl. I never quite made that connection until I saw these gingerbread houses in Nürnberg. Not only do they have a picture of the old lady inviting a boy and girl in, they're even labeled "Hexenhaus," which means "Witch's House."
