Amazing Internet Things: This Guy Made a Downton Abbey House Out of Gingerbread

Welp, let’s just add this to the long list of Amazing Internet Things that make me feel like a talentless hack.

A super creative and talented guy named Curtis Jensen has made an extremely detailed gingerbread replica of the house in Downton Abbey. The time lapse video below shows all the work that went into creating an edible Yorkshire country estate – cutting and baking the dough, creating candy window panes, frosting the windows and trim, putting the pieces together, hooking up lighting and more. Truly, a massive project!

The finished product looks beautiful - and even made The Today Show! The only thing that could possibly make it better would be tiny gingerbread people versions of all the major characters from the show. Though, I imagine frosting the details on the ladies’ dresses would probably be the very definition of tedious.

 It’s definitely too pretty to eat, so let’s hope Curtis keeps it up for a bit as sort of an ongoing celebration of the arrival of Series 3 in America

Lacy's love of British TV is embarrassingly extensive, but primarily centers around evangelizing all things Doctor Who, and watching as many period dramas as possible.

Digital media type by day, she also has a fairly useless degree in British medieval literature, and dearly loves to talk about dream poetry, liminality, and the medieval religious vision. (Sadly, that opportunity presents itself very infrequently.) York apologist, Ninth Doctor enthusiast, and unabashed Ravenclaw. Say hi on Threads or Blue Sky at @LacyMB.
