ben skinner & genevieve dionne

So, some of us just pick up a gingerbread house kit from the store… but if you’re an artistic genius, like Vancouver based artists {and married couple} Ben Skinner and Genevieve Dionne, you choose to make “Sugar Mountain” craziness instead. Take a peek, like this little fella…

See? Geniuses. Oh, and in case you’re wondering… yes, all of this is edible! ALL OF IT. Genevieve was the master behind most of the fondant and gum paste critters, but they also had some help from two of their talented friends, Sara Ryan and Morag Kydd. Merry Christmas Eve eve… see you tomorrow for one final “Art For Your Ear” podcast episode to finish off 2016!

    It’s absolutely amazing in person too! Love the slugs and snails, and Santapede is pretty incredible too! Still think it needs to be turned into a children’s book! So fantastic!

    […] Om du letar efter inspiration till ditt nästa pepparkakshus så kan jag rekommendera Ben Skinners och Genevieve Dionnes sagogrotta. Där bor bland annat Santapede. Jealous curator visar och berättar om den på sin blogg (här är länken). […]
