Just spotted this over on Flickr... My wife and I watch the gingerbread house competitions on Food Network, but it's another thing to see it done in LEGO! It's a cute design and looks good enough to eat... just in time for the holidays.

Now this is just super cool! Making your own food-grade silicon mold & brick shaped gummy candies in 5 easy steps. Our LUG has a Christmas party coming up in December... I've been thinking that it would be neat to serve drinks in PaB cups, with LEGO ice (from the official LEGO ice cube tray). I like the idea of Kellog's LEGO fruit snacks, but brick shaped gummy candies would be much more cooler...

Now the one thing I don't understand, with so many great LEGO parts out there, why would you just create a mold of standard bricks... why not minifigs, castle shields, helmets, & spears? :)
