Origins' eco-friendly gingerbread house competition: construction is underway

You may recall that back in September, Origins launched a competition to see who would construct the best 'eco-friendly gingerbread house' ever; a strange brief that I felt sure would result in some interesting and inventive constructions. If nothing else, I'm pretty sure I've never seen a gingerbread solar panel before now, and that had to be worth waiting for.

And as they invariably do, members of the crafting community have come up trumps on this one, totally unphased by the challenge. Some entries have been uploaded to flickr, where I picked out my favourite, which is by Neviepiecakes. Not only does the house feature an edible wind turbine, it also has recycling bins, organic garden and a bicycle.

The tastiest-looking recycling bins I've ever seen!

Oi, look. They've gone for a real tree. I hope those lights are LED!
