So, someone in the EU decided that it would be a cool thing to bake a really big gingerbread to welcome the two new countries into the EU (Romania & Bulgaria - I guess they join as of 1 January).
The piece of gingerbread is 3m x 3m (10ft x 10ft). They're submitted it to the Guinness Book of Records.

I'm totally now making gingerbread this Christmas. I was going to anyway, but look at it! *grin*
I wonder what recipe they used...
