50 Unique and Best Gingerbread Houses

by Wen Duan

I’m a sucker for creativity and crazy technical skills when it comes to food (or anything for that matter). So I compiled a list of fantastically creative Gingerbread “Houses” and creations for the holidays. Some of these have tutorials so you may make them on your own, while others are just edible masterpieces that looks far too impressive to munch down on.  

Since the range of the houses is so big, this gallery of Gingerbread Houses are not in any particular order.  Enjoy this feast of Gingerbread!

Happy Holidays from everyone at Livid Lobster!


A Photographic Journey to the Dallas Farmer’s Market

Fresh Cut Watermellon

Last weekend I took a trip to the Dallas Farmer’s Market with Lorelle VanFossen and Cali Lewis. While we were there we enjoyed the sights, sounds and free samples of one of the largest Farmer’s Markets in the world. I had taken along the trusty Canon 1D camera and was snapping away while wandering around. [...]

5 Amazing Examples of Watermelon Carving

August 16, 2010

Here in Texas it is HOT outside! I mean it’s still nearly 100 degrees at midnight during the summer. So, it’s no surprise that Watermelon is a favorite around these parts. If you keep it in an ice chest for a while before you carve it up it makes for a cool refreshing treat! But [...]

May 27, 2010

When I started my 900+ mile drive from the Dallas area to Indianapolis, Indiana I traveled north through Sherman Texas and on up into Oklahoma. I had been hearing about the Choctaw Indian casino for a long time so thought I’d go check it out while I was going by. Choctaw Casino Here I Come! [...]

January 30, 2010

A few of you may have had the opportunity to sample my Avgolemono soup, possibly after I posted the recipe about 3 years ago. But now I’ve put together a video demonstrating exactly how to make it. You can get the full details as well as a whole bunch of other recipes over on a [...]

Russell “Rockstar” Davis, from RockstarBartender.com, was kind enough to make this completely awesome flaming tequila based cocktail while I videoed it on a Canon 5D Mark II with a 15mm fisheye lens on it. The results are simply fantastic. If you’ve never seen anyone pour flaming liquid 3 feet through the air before, well… let [...]

Tutorial: The Inside Out Cheeseburger (Yep, Cheese on the Inside!)

January 6, 2010

Here is just a little video I threw together with my friend AJ Wood while demonstrating how to use a few of the effects in iMovie. Nonetheless, I’ve had a lot of complements on my cheeseburgers ever since I learned how to make them from the guys working the grill at Whole Foods Market in [...]

MUCH thanks to Terry G for forwarding this video on to me. Before I saw this, my stomach was all tied up in knots and I was just an anxious mess. I mean the fact that there are always too many hot dogs, and not enough buns, has been clearly unacceptable! Come on people! Why [...]

Today I went down to the Boudin Bakery on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco to get some fresh baked sourdough and some of their delicious clam chowder. When I arrived, there was a group of people huddled around the window where they are usually making the bread. Only this time, a nice young lady was [...]
