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害羞草研究所檚 sister and brother-in-law Nettie and Herman Steuernagel, Bill said he estimates the project still has another 10 hours left, which he called 害羞草研究所済etting close.害羞草研究所�

The race is on to finish our gingerbread version of the spectacular S.S. Sicamous! 馃槉

害羞草研究所� Bill Driedger (@BillyD1971)

害羞草研究所淚 spent most of the day yesterday on it,害羞草研究所� Bill said. 害羞草研究所淲henever we get a chance, we poke away at it. We were trying to get it done before Christmas, but I害羞草研究所檓 not sure that害羞草研究所檚 going to happen.害羞草研究所�

Maybe not 害羞草研究所� especially if the couples dip too much into the eggnog.

害羞草研究所淲e did the Eiffel Tower a couple of years ago as a project, and we害羞草研究所檝e been meaning to do another one, and since we did that in northern Alberta, I guess all four of us moved to Penticton,害羞草研究所� Bill said, adding they floated the idea of doing the Sicamous last year.

害羞草研究所淏ut we never got around to it with travel and whatnot. So today and this year we decided to tackle it. The sizing isn害羞草研究所檛 100 per cent, but it害羞草研究所檚 just fun.害羞草研究所�

Bill said it would have taken significantly longer to try to get everything to scale, but it isn害羞草研究所檛 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.

害羞草研究所淚害羞草研究所檓 not sure how that害羞草研究所檚 going to happen,害羞草研究所� he said.

Compared to the Eiffel Tower, Bill said the SS Sicamous has been a bit of a more complicated recipe.

害羞草研究所淭he Eiffel Tower害羞草研究所檚 so skinny, and we kind of just did it on a whim,害羞草研究所� he said. 害羞草研究所淭his guy, there害羞草研究所檚 a lot more going on trying to get it to look right.害羞草研究所�

The cookies haven害羞草研究所檛 crumbled yet, but Bill said if a fatal mistake means sweet demise for the doughy ship, what remains is easily 害羞草研究所� and cheerfully 害羞草研究所� cleaned up.
