gingerbread luminarias

These are small-scale (about 4" high) individualized luminarias that we made out of gingerbread (and royal icing and sparkly sugar!) to set as placecards at a holiday dinner party. There were holes in the side and back so they actually glowed on the table with a battery votive candle inside. Guests then took their (tasty) placecard home as their gift for the evening.
