Maogu found a "
Gingerbread Ships Contest"
It's kinda unbelievable, I don't understand how could this contest motivated that many ppl to actually buy stuffs and do it. Furthermore most of the participaters are also ask their family members to make the ship together.
This contest is obviously creative and successful. Maybe we could learn sth from it .
-------
Here's the rule:
Rules
1. Everything in the ship must be edible* and fit thematically. Practically speaking, this means you're limited to gingerbread, candy, and icing. If you have any questions about the eligibility of something, please post here.
2. You must bake your own gingerbread. You can use store-bought mixes, but no cementing together bags of gingersnaps or *shudder* graham crackers.
*I know this may make certain aspects of the ship (like sails) difficult. We will not hold it against entries if they fail to have sails.
Entry Guidelines
All entries must be posted in the entry thread before 12:01 AM PST, December 23rd 27th.
At least four (linked) pictures of your entry, each with a card (or cookie) with your pirate name and ocean in the picture.
Ingredients
Two in-progress pictures (baking gingerbread and decorating)
Finished product.
A copy of your gingerbread recipe. If you use a box mix, let us know what brand. If it is a family secret, well, hopefully they won't find out.
