The Gingerbread Millenium Falcon Has Got It Where It Counts

This gingerbread Millenium Falcon looks awesome, even if it isn’t completely made of gingerbread. Some of those bulkheads are clearly graham crackers. Hey, that’s fine with me. I’m looking to hire a ship, but I’ll gladly eat it instead.

This is the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs. Sure, it left crumbs the whole way, so that once it got there it was almost all candy and frosting with a hull that looked like swiss cheese, but it still made it. This awesome edible sculpture was made by Tony Kim aka @Crazy4ComicCon, who clearly knows how to build ships you want to eat.

You’ll notice, thanks to the R2 figure, that it even appears to be to scale. Nicely done.

Lord of the Rings Gingerbread Barad-dûr: Gingerbarad House

We’ve seen Sauron’s headquarters as a tasty cake. Here it is as a gingerbread house tower. According to Turkulainen, Jarno Koivula and his friend Roy made the menacing model using about 30lb. of gingerbread.

Jarno and Roy made the tasty tower a gingerbread house making competition, which awarded the two as the winners.

Hansel and Gretel don’t stand a chance in this tale.

Gingerbread Wookiee: So That’s Why They Call Him Chewy

We’ve seen lots of geeky gingerbread treats, but none so tough as this gingerbread Wookiee. Let them win at games or they will rip your arm out of its socket. Eat a gingerbread Wookiee and they will likely punch you in the gut from the inside.

This tasty gingerbread version of Chewbacca comes from Craftster member kala who does a great job making fine wookie hair and makes a mean bandoleer. It may not be as impressive as a Death Star gingerbread treat, but this guy is pretty darn cute and probably just as tasty.

This is why they call him Chewie, people! I like the eyes, but don’t want him to look at me when I bite into him.

Gingerbread AT-AT Walker

gingerbread at at Gingerbread AT AT Walker
Check out this awesome AT-AT Walker made from gingerbread created by Chef Aaron Lawrence from the Magnolia Hotel and Spa (in Vancouver). It’s even outfitted in a seasonally appropriate reindeer getup like one those stupid cars with the nose and antlers on it (no your car does not need to get dressed up for the holidays, thank you). I’d love to make a little tiny licorice rope and then take it down like a cookie Luke Skywalker then devour it like a jello Jabba.

Gingerbread Optimus Prime: Sugar in Disguise

I can never decide which side I’m on. Autobots or Decepticons. This amazing gingerbread Optimus Prime has swayed me. It was made by a friend of a friend of Redditor downvotedagain.

We don’t know much about this amazing holiday treat. Not even if this girl is the one who made it. None of that matters. All that matters is that this is a thing. A really awesome thing I would like to admire and then eat. The detail is really nice and he looks like he could hold his own in an all out gingerbread robot fight. Oh yeah. I break me off a piece of that robot and serve it up with a nice cold glass of milk. It would probably take a month to eat this thing.

No icing though. That might be a deal breaker. Gotta have icing on your gingerbread robots.

Gingerbread Death Star: The Empire Bites Back

This awesome gingerbread Death Star is the ultimate power in the universe. The tastiest too. In fact, it recently won a gingerbread house-building tournament at The Swedish Centre for Architecture in Stockholm, Sweden. It comes from Redditor Sillstryparn.

This is the second Death Star as you can see. The first was obviously destroyed by snowmen piloting X-wing fighters made from candy canes.

This spicy space station took 12 people to build it and it is made out of about 1,200 cookies. The creator says that it took friendship, cooperation and sense of purpose to create this special project. It was seen as a “metaphor in the challenge to all the world’s people must practice love for each other to maintain and build up our planet.” That’s a nice sentiment, but I just need to know where I can get a tall glass of milk so I can get started on this thing.

Doctor Who/Sherlock Gingerbread TARDIS: Merry Moffat

This is the confectionery crossover that has so far eluded us on the TV screen. The Doctor and the Detective together at last. Both shows are headed by Steven Moffat, both characters are equally crazy and brilliant, and now they are a part of the same Christmas treat.

It looks like the TARDIS is not only bigger on the inside, but it also now bears Holmes’ address. 221 B. Baker Street on its side. This awesome gingerbread house was created by Twitter user Wholock. Get the name? I would have gone with Doctor Holmes myself, but it’s clever.

Two great shows, one great treat. Looks like these roommates enter through different doors. This is a show I would love to see.
