Re: gingerbread
I started watching a bit of that this year, but didn't want to ruin it by not watching the whole thing start to finish.

Last year I saw the same special, and loved it.

The problem with strengthening some of the scenes as you called them is just that. Some are cutaway views of house, and you have the thin walls on only 3 sides and maybe a half roof.

If you were to take an architectural approach as one contestant did last year and actually make houses, then you could include non decorational, but purely functional (for strength) inner cross members for construction.

As I am understanding from last year's show, there are different categories they are ranked in, and one is strength. Some others are intriguing use of materials, and general audience appeal to the scene or house itself.
