McMansion Hell awards its annual prize for the best gingerbread McMansion!

Last year, McMansion Hell (previously) inaugurated its annual gingerbread McMansion competition, inviting America's bakers to challenge themselves to build the largest, most ostentatious, most ill-conceived McMansion in gingerbread form.

This year's competition entries are even more glorious in their excess and (delicious) bad taste, with top marks for Erin E's "Simply Having a Wonderful Building Crime": "with the garage that is so far detached it makes the front door totally irrelevantits a castle of grand sadness. The Pete Buttigieg sign is the literal icing on top."

Project description: This home Defies the Ordinary. Located on a 2.3 acre lot, youll be the envy of all your neighborsand can watch from the top of the turret to be sure theyre suitably jealous! Enjoy sitting al fresco under the portico above the garage, or on the hand-laid M&M stone patio! The two-story entryway accounts for just a few of the more than 60 sugar glass windows! All of the walls join up exactly where the architect expected them to, and no windows were covered up on accident!!!

Constructed over two weeks, out of ten pounds of flour, four pounds of powdered sugar, and more than half a gallon of corn syrup, this modest four-story house will surely stand the test of time. Its been meticulously decorated with royal icing vines, wreaths, and Christmas lights, and landscaped with gingerbread boulders, definitely-naturally-this-green icing grass, and coconut macaroon topiary. The roof stands at 17 inches high, and is crafted from waffle cookie shingles over gingerbread rafters.
