The gingerbread houses perched in Laraway's conference room beckon with a gentle prod. Peppermint spirals, white chocolate drops, and other confections wrapped in colorful foil are artfully arranged and cemented with royal icing.
Colors tease and tantalize, but it’s the sweet fusion of ginger and nutmeg subsumed in a sea of molasses, eggs and flour---real, genuine gingerbread---that draw folks in with their holiday aroma.
Chris, a student at Laraway School, has been building the edible edifice featured in the image below. He and his classmates have been working with Aaron McGee, Walter Wendling, Dave Ward, Cherise Boutin and James Marsh to design, build and even wire with lights and music these culinary masterpieces.
As we prepare for the holidays, the learning continues. We offer you greetings of the season.
