This month, Coastal Living Magazine has the recipe and directions to make this absolutely wonderful looking gingerbread lighthouse. Who would want a regular old gingerbread house when you could have this.
"This meticulously crafted lighthouse, complete with gummy lobsters and Lifesaver windows, is a tasty replica of nearby Whale Back Light, which stands at the entrance to Portsmouth Harbor."Now I guess if I were to make a lighthouse, I should do a local one, Absecon or Cape May, but they are towers with round sides. Forget that! Or I could do Sandy Hook, that has straight sides like this one. But the lobsters would not seem quite right...did you see the little candy lobsters?
Well, I have no lobsters, so I guess that I will stick with gingerbread men...
you could use swedish fish! and that would seem more appropriate.
ReplyDeleteOr I could have lobsters and swedish fish....
ReplyDeleteThat is very cute, but i have never successfully been able to make a gingerbread house, so I'm not sure I could make a lighthouse.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteWell, I never made a gingerbread house either, but I might as well dream big!
ReplyDeleteI think you need to make one of those!
ReplyDeleteWay too beautiful to ever think of eating! http://www.nubblelight.com/
ReplyDeletehere's a good one for you, Caite. When you go north, if you have never been here, it's worth a stop and you can get the best lobster roll in the restaurant right near there overlooking the lighthouse.
I LOVE lobster rolls.....
ReplyDeleteGummy lobsters? Is that just a New England thing? Never heard of them out here in the Midwest... but what a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteI never saw a gummy lobster, but the candy company linked in the magazine article sells them. I assume it is a Maine thing. I would also assume they would not have a huge demand for them except in New England.
