Why should gentiles get to have all of the fun? Apparently there’s such a thing as Matzo Houses, which borrows the concept of a gingerbread house and puts its own unleavened spin on it. Now you can construct an edible dwelling that will fit right in at The Festival. Check out a collection of these here.

How To Build a Gingerbread House the Size of Your Actual House

It’s that time of year to dust off the baking equipment, and make your obligatory gingerbread house. And, if you’ve always wanted to make a gingerbread replica of your own home, but suck at adjusting recipe quantities, this is your year.

Gingerbread Lincoln Memorial

Abraham Lincoln — one the most beloved Presidents in U.S. history — just got even awesomer. Brought to us by Patti Paige of Baked Ideas, the Gingerbread Lincoln Memorial is 100% edible. At 3-ft tall, Gingerbread Lincoln also consists of rice krispie treats, chocolate, fondant, royal icing, cookies, and peppermint sticks. Now, that’s a memorial.

Currently on display at Le Parker Meridien in New York City, visitors can donate one dollar and vote for their favorite display, with proceeds going to City Harvest.

[Thanks, Patti]

Gingerbread Oreos Exist

‘Tis the season for a new line of holiday-inspired Oreos. And, after Nabisco’s attempt at a Halloween sandwich cookie, we’re not sure what to make of Gingerbread Oreos. However, according to Huffington Post, they’re awesome. No mention if they dipped them in egg nog first.

The cookies appear to be exclusively sold at Walmart.
