A Sweet Spot for Lincoln Hall

This edible Lincoln Hall tastes—maybe even looks—better than the real one.

Brianna Lawrence and her Lincoln Hall gingerbread house

Graduate student Brianna Lawrence created a Lincoln Hall gingerbread house for the Department of Political Science’s holiday party on Friday, Dec. 5.

She estimated that it took 10 hours to craft the confection made of cherry balls, cinnamon imperials, Necco wafers, gumdrops, gum, frosting, ginger snaps, candy canes, coconut shavings, and of course, baked gingerbread. Not having Internet access at home, Lawrence designed the building from memory.
