I have never been much of a precision baker. My cookies always turn out slightly lopsided (but charmingly so, right?) and when I make meringue cookies, I can't be bother to run them through a pastry bag, instead just roughly dolloping them on the baking sheets. Because of this sloppiness, I find the exactness of the Gingerbread Eiffel Tower to be jaw-droppingly impressive.
Created by Marilyn of Simmer Til Done, this tower of perfection was baked up to dress the window of a friend's gourmet shop for the holiday season. Thanks for adding this dazzler to the Slashfood Flickr pool, Marilyn.

I've never been a fan of food art or gingerbread, but some of the entrants in this contest make this Eiffel Tower look like a pile of matchsticks. Unfortunately, after the entries are put on display, its amazing to watch as parents think its cute to see their kids reach across the barrier and pull pieces off to play with or eat. The crowds which flow into the resort to see the houses on display and their excitement is absolutely crazy. More than once, those waiting in line have been unable to contain themselves and fights have broken out. Fights over gingerbread houses. Really.
