A gingerbread village built as a cake, with chocolate walls, white icing trim, green roofs and a giant candy cane, sits on a draped round table beside a coffee cup. Snowmen and a small Christmas tree crowd the base while star lights, snowflakes and a red bauble hang against a blue backdrop. Icing-framed windows and doors hide the finder squares, and the dark chocolate panels and piped white lines carry the modules. Strong contrast between brown walls and white icing keeps the pattern clear across the whole cake.
