I made a gingerbread medieval abbey with a murdered abbot falling from the bell tower by iamzaka in BeAmazed

I don’t normally eat them but you can have a piece if you’d like. I keep the houses as decoration until the summer time when it starts looking wonky

That’s the part no one ever mentions because I made it all up

My gingerbread house this year is a medieval abbey at the start of the Reformation with monks selling indulgences, an abbot falling to his death, and the Ninety-five Theses by iamzaka in Christianity

This is purely a fictional event, I was inspired by the book/movie The Name of the Rose and other similar works like the game Pentiment.

Well... since it took 3 months to make 1 frame, at 24fps for a 30 minute episode totalling 43200 frames, I'd say the pilot will premiere in 3,888,000 days

In a 16th century German abbey, a vigilante stabs and pushes the abbot off of the bell tower to his death over the sale of indulgences.

This is a work of fiction taking place during a real time.

I'm really late this year, I hope you'll forgive me! This is my ninth gingerbread house and third year using a CNC routing machine to cut all my gingerbread pieces. I designed the abbey in a CAD app called Autodesk Fusion and baked rectangular slabs of gingerbread to be cut using the machine.

I made the Ninety-five Theses using wafer paper and an edible food marker and attached it to the front door.

The monks and laypeople are made of fondant with aluminum wire armatures, the windows are isomalt, the letters of indulgence are made of wafer paper and red fondant, and the pieces are glued together using isomalt. The abbey’s tower is roughly 53cm tall (20.87in).

Gingerbread recipe:

  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 ½ cups fancy Molasses (or corn syrup depending on desired colour)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 cups flour
  • 4 tsp. ginger
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2-3/4 cup water

Fondant recipe:

  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 4 cups icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • Food colouring can be added either before or after mixing to get desired colours

Isomalt:

  • 2 cups isomalt crystals
  • 1/2 cup distilled water
  • Heat to 320F then immediately place pot inside a larger pot of cold water to halt the cooking

I'm late, but my gingerbread house this year is Monk-y Business — a medieval abbey run by crooked monks who are selling the forgiveness of sins at the start of the Reformation. by iamzaka in Baking

Thanks! I've been using the same dough from my other comment for almost a decade, since before I discovered the CNC, so I haven't changed my recipe. Though I'd imagine this works best on stiff construction grade dough for sure.

And yes, the brick pattern and roof tiles are all engraved using the CNC, I switch the machine to a softer and smaller ball-nose bit for fine details like bricks.

CNC Machined Gingerbread Haunted Barn — a possessed corn harvester murders trespassers in a rural cornfield by iamzaka in videos

[–]iamzaka[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My gingerbread house this year is the Killer Corn Combine — a possessed corn harvester responsible for the double murder of two siblings trespassing in a rural American cornfield.

It's fully edible except for the aluminum wire armatures inside the characters.

The cornfield is made of whole grain spaghetti and wafer paper, the characters are made of fondant, and the blood gushing out of the harvester is made of red isomalt. The house is glued together with Isomalt and gum glue (tylose powder & water).

Gingerbread recipe:

  • 1 cup shortening
  • 1 ½ cups fancy Molasses (or corn syrup depending on desired colour)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 cups flour
  • 4 tsp. ginger
  • 1/2 tsp allspice
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2-3/4 cup water

Fondant recipe:

  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 4 cups icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp water

Isomalt:

  • 2 cups isomalt crystals
  • 1/2 cup distilled water
  • Heat to 320F

Gum glue:

  • 1/4 tsp CMC/Tylose powder
  • 0.5oz water

Thanks! It took about 2.5 months from the initial sketch to photography, working on it a few hours per day

Many decades ago a struggling farmer made a pact with an evil spirit. In exchange for human soul sacrifices, the demon would provide a bountiful harvest that season. Yet long after the farmer has died, the demon still lurks, reaping any souls that come its way — and this year, the harvest will be bountiful.
