Gingerbread Cleveland Public Library

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.

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
