It's good to see RedEnvelope taking a chance and creating a modernist gingerbread house. Not easy to do, as people tend to attract themselves towards the traditional. Good for them!

I have been waiting for someone to come out with this!
I hope there are more on the market this year...

An unique gift and sure-fire conversation piece, it comes assembled and ready to enjoy. Once unwrapped, it should be eaten within 30 days. Left as decoration, it will keep for up to 12 months. Candies used for embellishment may contain nuts.

incredible detail

I was thinking of building a traditional gingerbread house, but I realized that gingerbread architecture hasn't really evolved much past the classic North Pole cottage look. I think it's time for an extreme makeover. This year I want a Modern Gingerbread House ($78)! This modern 100% edible home now comes complete with a garage and a rock garden. Next winter, I'm thinking of going bigger with gingerbread skyscrapers! (via The Green Head)

I'm fascinated by the gingerbread house. Wish I could make one that looked this good!

gingerbread houses are cute but heres a modern take on them.

You can give your modern home a sugary mini-me for Christmas!
