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]

The Gingerbread Typewriter

Remember typewriters? Those were crazy. And although they laid the groundwork for our wireless and smartphone keyboards, they just don’t get the respect they deserve. Enter the Gingerbread Typewriter, created by Patti from Baked Ideas. Completely edible, the tribute to antiquated word processing was created as part of a gingerbread display to benefit City Harvest — currently on view for a month at the Parker Meridien Hotel in NYC.
