It might not float as during record-level flooding earlier this year, but a gingerbread model of the famous historical ship is a pretty sweet project.
Made by Bill and Corinne Driedger along with Bill香蕉视频直播檚 sister and brother-in-law Nettie and Herman Steuernagel, Bill said he estimates the project still has another 10 hours left, which he called 香蕉视频直播済etting close.香蕉视频直播
The race is on to finish our gingerbread version of the spectacular S.S. Sicamous! 馃槉

香蕉视频直播淚 spent most of the day yesterday on it,香蕉视频直播 Bill said. 香蕉视频直播淲henever we get a chance, we poke away at it. We were trying to get it done before Christmas, but I香蕉视频直播檓 not sure that香蕉视频直播檚 going to happen.香蕉视频直播
Maybe not 香蕉视频直播 especially if the couples dip too much into the eggnog.
香蕉视频直播淲e did the Eiffel Tower a couple of years ago as a project, and we香蕉视频直播檝e been meaning to do another one, and since we did that in northern Alberta, I guess all four of us moved to Penticton,香蕉视频直播 Bill said, adding they floated the idea of doing the Sicamous last year.
香蕉视频直播淏ut we never got around to it with travel and whatnot. So today and this year we decided to tackle it. The sizing isn香蕉视频直播檛 100 per cent, but it香蕉视频直播檚 just fun.香蕉视频直播
Bill said it would have taken significantly longer to try to get everything to scale, but it isn香蕉视频直播檛 a half-baked project, as it is. What might be the most challenging part coming up is the paddlewheel at the back of the steamship, something the team of bread-gineers (OK, that one might be a stretch) would have to tackle gingerly.
香蕉视频直播淚香蕉视频直播檓 not sure how that香蕉视频直播檚 going to happen,香蕉视频直播 he said.
Compared to the Eiffel Tower, Bill said the SS Sicamous has been a bit of a more complicated recipe.
香蕉视频直播淭he Eiffel Tower香蕉视频直播檚 so skinny, and we kind of just did it on a whim,香蕉视频直播 he said. 香蕉视频直播淭his guy, there香蕉视频直播檚 a lot more going on trying to get it to look right.香蕉视频直播
The cookies haven香蕉视频直播檛 crumbled yet, but Bill said if a fatal mistake means sweet demise for the doughy ship, what remains is easily 香蕉视频直播 and cheerfully 香蕉视频直播 cleaned up.
