Our friend Shirley made this excellent gingerbread tipi this year and posted these photos on her Facebook account.

The hide is fondant.  The fire is made of fondant, fruit roll-up and a flameless candle.

The tipi in its glory.

Shirley and her sister Jenn are also the makers of this excellent paper mache cherry pie, which they gave to me for my birthday in 2006.
