So my family's long standing tradition is to make truly epic gingerbread "houses." See my sister's flickr for our previous example. We've just begun our next creation, which is to be a circus train setting up for their next show. Does anybody have ideas for acts that MUST be included, or have pictures of things like trapeze rigging or whatnot to help with accuracy? Everything needs to be made out of candy or some description, but we're allowing some wiggle room for toothpicks and wire for stability. I'll post pictures when I'm done, of course.
The tent itself is going to be made of sugar waffle (like ice cream cone stuff) that can be worked with when it's still hot but stiffens after it cools. We're having gingerbread elephants to help raise big poles and whatnot. We'll have the standard compliment of clowns, bearded ladies, strong men, tightrope walkers, etc. I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to figure out the jugglers >_<.
