The Haunted Mansion Sugar Cookie House

There aren’t that many days left until Halloween so in continuing with the theme of spooky homes today we have The Phantom Manor! The Phantom Manor is the official name of the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland Paris and one fellow named Ray Keim took nine hours and recreated it with cookie dough.

I love this. Keim took cookie homes to a whole new level here. He used Lightwave to create a 3D model, made templates, and has the whole process available to see at his website Haunted Dimensions.  This structure is nothing short of amazing — I think kids especially would love it.

Can you believe the detail. So cool.

If you visit Haunted Dimensions you can see the whole house going up, more photos of the finished project and do much more nifty stuff like download the templates for your own house, see other mansion projects (think paper 3D), and more. The site is tons of spooky creative fun. You can also send in your own photos if you give this edible home building a try. Many people have sent Keim their versions but my favorite is the wedding cake with a tiny (and dead) bride and groom. Very Nightmare Before Christmas style.

This is my recommendation for your must visit Halloween season site this year — edible architecture. What could be better?

Would you try this? I think it’d be fun but Cedar might get tired before we finish.
