Sarah Wagner is a gingerbread artist known in Cleveland for recreating landmarks of that city that she calls home. In the past, she's made highly realistic models of the Westside Market, Terminal Tower, and East Fourth Street.
Cleveland magazine reports that, this year, Wagner made a scale model of the central Cleveland Public Library. This was a commission by that institution, which provided Wagner with architectural plans necessary to recreate the headquarters. Baking and assembly took a full month, as well as 25 pounds of flour and 3 pounds of Isomalt, which is the substance used to create the windows. It measures 32 by 38 inches.
The model is now on display at the main library.

Do you remember back in the 80's (90's?) when everyone seemed to be making cinnamon gingerbread Christmas tree ornaments? I think they had lots of cups of cinnamon and used gingerbread as a medium to hold it all together? I may be wrong about the gingerbread. But those ultra cinnamon smelling ornaments could bring on a headache if you were around them for long.

I wonder to what extent gingerbread sculptures are actually edible.

In all my years I have never had gingerbread do what I want it to do. It crumbles, it splits, it sags!!! It won't stand up or stick. It's too soft or hard as a brick. I have never had a gingerbread house stand and stay as a "house". I put jello at the top of my food list of items I deeply dislike. Gingerbread is #2. You want gingerbread cookies? I can do that! You want a house? Leave. grrr
