Eco gingerApartment: spirulla bar green roof and choco solar panels!

[The eco-gingerbread project begins here]

Behold: The gingerApartment. Or more accurately, the gingerDuplex. I know it looks simple, but making that was way harder than I thought possible. The main reason: I'm not a baker and lack basic tools, such as an electric beater o a rolling pin.

But at least I did it, hand beating the icing and rolling out with a wine bottle! The apartment has passive heating (in the form of gigantic windows), a green roof (spirulla energy bar -- I didn't use sprinkles because they seemed too synthetic), solar panels (Green & Black chocolate squares), ginger-dirt flooring (just gingerbread), and little herb gardens.

How the green gardens thrive when there's so much snowfall is a question that can only be answered in the gingerbread world. Now I'm gonna enter Bake for a Change's eco-gingerbread house contest. Photos from me and other eco-gingerbread house bakers should pop up here soon.

Geeze Siel, that looks more like a ginger Hollywood bungalow, (except for the icing/snow), but hey, good work, especially considering your set backs.

Best of luck on the contest.

Teehee -- You can't see it in the pictures, but there is an internal wall separating the entire thing in two, making it a duplex :P
