Jims Gingerbread Castle!

Behold, the great accomplishment of the year, the one and only Gingerbread Castle Galore!

This is the front of my Gingerbread Castle.
You can see the Peanut path leading up to the front Pretzel/licorice draw bridge, welcoming the inhabitants home. The trees in the front yard are made from Carmely Popcorn balls, Fluffy Rice crispy treat balls, and a chocolate drop covered sugar-cone. Oh look, some of the trees are getting ripe, the M&M fruit is starting to drop! Never fear, there are teams of small gingerbread men ready for the harvest. Hey are more noticeable on top of the Castle, behind the Chocolate wafer crenelation.

This is the other side of the front.
Its a little more quiet and mysterious than the other side. The Chocolate Wafer Cookies are the perfect shingle for the roof. It must have snowed recently cause Sugary icing is slathered about, with a sprinkling of coconut flakes all over. The front of the main building is decorated with fine lacy licorice ropes, welded to the facade with a hefty amount of icing. The roof peaks are accented with a variety of flavored Candy Canes Caps, as well as Spicy Gum Drops. The Peppermint Swirl on the very top acts as the Castle's Coat of Arms for all to see.

This is the back from the Mysterious side.
There is activity in the back yard here, just outside of the wall. Oh look, you can see a family of Teddy-Grahm Polar Bears playing in front of their Marshmallow Igloo, which is right in front of their Peeps style Christmas Tree. Its hidden in front of the Skittle-Stone wall of the lower portion of the house. Wow, you can just see the joy on those Bears faces.

And here is the other corner of the back courtyard, completing our counter-clockwise tour of the Castle. The Marshmallow tower is right in the front. Its fruity shingles are constructed from Fruit-Striped sticks of Gum, and supported by Candy Cane beams. The Pez brick gatehouse is Covered in an assortment of Necco Wafer Shingles. And no Gatehouse would be complete without its 'Snicker-Nutcracker' guards nesseled on each side of the Gatehouse. Wow, I wouldn't want to mess with those fellas! It rests just off to the lower left side, while the Candy Cane lamp posts highlight the right side of the courtyard.

I hope you've enjoyed our 'Counter-Clockwise' tour. Its been lovely being your tour guide. Come back later for more exciting and dramatic images. (Don't worry, more detailed photos coming soon.)
