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 and BillB次元官网网址檚 sister and brother-in-law Nettie and Herman Steuernagel, Bill said he estimates the project still has another 10 hours left B次元官网网址� which he called B次元官网网址済etting close.B次元官网网址�
The race is on to finish our gingerbread version of the spectacular S.S. Sicamous! 馃槉

B次元官网网址淚 spent most of the day yesterday on it,B次元官网网址� Bill said. B次元官网网址淲henever we get a chance, we poke away at it. We were trying to get it done before Christmas, but IB次元官网网址檓 not sure thatB次元官网网址檚 going to happen.B次元官网网址�
Maybe not B次元官网网址� especially if the couples dip too much into the eggnog.
B次元官网网址淲e did the Eiffel Tower a couple of years ago as a project, and weB次元官网网址檝e been meaning to do another one, and since we did that in northern Alberta, I guess all four of us moved to Penticton,B次元官网网址� Bill said, adding they floated the idea of doing the Sicamous last year.
B次元官网网址淏ut we never got around to it with travel and whatnot. So today and this year we decided to tackle it. The sizing isnB次元官网网址檛 100 per cent, but itB次元官网网址檚 just fun.B次元官网网址�
Bill said it would have taken significantly longer to try to get everything to scale, but it isnB次元官网网址檛 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.
B次元官网网址淚B次元官网网址檓 not sure how thatB次元官网网址檚 going to happen,B次元官网网址� he said.
Compared to the Eiffel Tower, Bill said the SS Sicamous has been a bit of a more complicated recipe.
B次元官网网址淭he Eiffel TowerB次元官网网址檚 so skinny, and we kind of just did it on a whim,B次元官网网址� he said. B次元官网网址淭his guy, thereB次元官网网址檚 a lot more going on trying to get it to look right.B次元官网网址�
The cookies havenB次元官网网址檛 crumbled yet, but Bill said if a fatal mistake means sweet demise for the doughy ship, what remains is easily B次元官网网址� and cheerfully B次元官网网址� cleaned up.
