Noah’s Ark: Gingerbread Edition

This week provided the perfect opportunity to pull out the old recipes of tradition and whip up Noah’s Ark in finest gingerbread form.

Add students (next year’s graduating class):

And some creative energies:

Some odd flourishes (including a surfing giraffe and a shark-riding Japheth):

And voila – a finished creation:

It took about half a day to create and half a minute to devour.  Another lesson from the book of Ecclesiastes.
