Turns out Michael-who I love-has turned his son onto Star Wars. Given the new movie coming out and shit, I thought it was only right to make up his gingerbread house as the Millennium Falcon. I'm not a pro baker or anything so this was strictly trial and error and also with improvised tools and molds.
STEP 1:
Make the gingerbread, roll it out and cut out some shapes. For this, I was watching Terminator Salvation while tracing with a dinner plate and some rough stencils that I made.
STEP 2:
I draped these guys over a smaller plate to add contour to the hull. If I ever decide to do this again, I will find something without a ridge because you can see how it poked through the gingerbread and kind of sagged.
STEP 3:
Patch that shit! I didn't want to make another batch of gingerbread and didn't have enough to make another hull so used my bombproof royal icing to fix it. This will be the bottom piece to hide my shame.
STEP 4:
Build the exhaust and the rest of the sides. If I was redoing this ever again I would make the blue part thinner. I lit it up with a bicycle light from MEC that fits nicely in the nose of the ship.
STEP 5:
Build the cockpit. Man, I am surprised this worked. I wrapped a tomato paste can in tinfoil then rolled up the gingerbread around it and baked it. Once I got it off I can see that it is way out of proportion but whatever forever. I winged it with the glass part and am pretty proud of it now that you mention it.
