News for faculty and staffDecember 7, 2009IN THE SPOTLIGHTPhoto gallery: Purdue Memorial Union's gingerbread house
Nothing says Christmas quite like an edible house. That is the philosophy of Purdue Memorial Union's Dining Services, which began constructing gingerbread houses in 2002. The giant, walk-in homes are displayed prominently next to the Christmas tree in the Union's Great Hall as part of Holidays at the Union, which takes place this week. A photo gallery featuring the construction of this year's house is available here. The PMU maintenance department constructs and dismantles the house, which is made out of plywood. After the house is built, the gingerbread, which takes the bakery department about two weeks to make, is adhered to the plywood with royal icing. A graham cracker roof is tiled on top, and then the designers are free to have fun. More
