Gingerbread Castle of Doom and Death (Warning: graphic pics of gummi bear death)

[Zantanna]

Sooo, what started out as a fun, end-of-the-year xmas project with the kids took a more warrior turn after the kids left and the older kids got to play

--Here are the plans for our castle. Not a house. A castle. Complete with gummi bear warriors.


--The kids get to decorate the actual castle, the fortress walls are still yet to come




After the young'ins decorated their part of the castle, we set to work on fortifying it and recreating a battle scene of epic proportions with the use of our crafty minds and 3 bags of gummi bears at our disposal. We included a moat, nay, an ocean of blood.

Siege ladder!

Sieged!

Piked!

Peace was not served this xmas..

Flame arrowed!

Saving their fellow soldiers from the ocean of blood with sea monsters

Sea monsters!

The gummi bear pyre for those slain during the epic battle

Out of all the lovely gingerbread houses I've seen so far... I think this must be my favourite. 
It's so different from the others, in a good way!

Nice use of gummi bears.
(Oh, and I just LOVE their little chocolatey helmets!)

Slaughtered gummi army? Too cool for words

[Trekky]

This is great! Love the sea monsters!

[Sandroo]

Totally awesome!  Way to take it the other direction!

I think I just rofl'd in my pants alittle due to the epicness (it's a word, I promise ) of this gingerbread masterpiece.

Amazing battle-scenes. Greetings from Viking-country. (And this rocks).

[Onyxnox]

Warped.....  wonderfully, wonderfully warped!

Poor, brave gummi warriors.  May their gummi spirits live on forever, feasting in gummi Valhalla, being served by gummi Valkyries.

This is so funny!  it did not escape  me that there was a "peace" sign on the side of the castle! LOL!!!!! Very, very fun and imaginative.  I love the fighting gummies and the captions make the pictures so much more fun.

[crendon]

hahaha!! so super brilliant. I love this!

[Mellow Nello]

Wow.  Just... WOW.  Best. Cake. Ever.

I totally want this as my wedding cake now.

ps.  I know this is technically biscuits, not a cake, but it's a cake in my mind, since it's cake-sized.

Hilariously awesome. Who doesn't love a gummi bear vignette? Looks like you had a ton of fun!

[Glamis]

love the sea monsters and the ocean of blood

[Muria]

Well, gee. Go ahead and make it MORE difficult to pick who to vote for, why don't you??    I love that it went from a castle with a peace sign to a battle of gummy bear epic proportions!

[RecycleMicol]

You know, I'm usually all about the 'cute' when it comes to gingerbread houses, but this one is just so clever that it may just have to get my vote!!! 

Way to think outside of the box!

Hee Hee. I couldn't stop laughing. Then again mys siter just looked at it, shook her head and said I was immature. Oh and by the way she is my YOUNGER sister so no hope for me then. Nevermind I love it. It must have taken you ages. You so desrve to win!

[Zantanna]

Thank you to everyone for your most awesome compliments!  We're tickled with all your comments! And yes, we had a positively mahvelous time doing the castle.

[tapestrymlp]

You know, what really brings the whole thing together is that funeral death pyre. LOL. I love the creativity in this, it looks like you guys had a ton of fun.

[bderwis]

Reminds me of Lord of the Rings!

[WideEyedLife]

Let us all take care to warn our curious gummy friends that this awesome castle is not a place for casual visitation, despite it's hypnotic draw.  lol  Run away! Run away!

Whew.  Such a fun idea!

[psycho_happy_kitten]

Wow... Lol. 

[wetkiss]

The poor gummy bears.

[Stevil]

Harrr! Taste pointy stick bears!
This has to be the best gingerbread building ever.
Anything as cute as gummy bears deserve to be run through!
