As part of the Internet's ongoing effort to recreate Frank Lloyd Wright's famous Falling Water house in as many media as possible (Lego, Half Life 2), the folks at Garden Melodies have produced a gingerbread edition:

It took over 12 hours to design
It took Brenton and I around 40 hours to build and decorate
There are around 164 different pieces of gingerbread
It took roughly 12 square feet of gingerbread dough (that's four large batches) to make all the walls, floors and roof
Over 8 bags of powdered sugar were used to make all the frosting
It took over 40 sleeves of large Smarties which are used to simulate dry stack stone on the building exterior
The river and water fall are made up of three batches of hard candy
