I had this thunderbolt of an idea a few weeks ago.

I am going to make a gingerbread version of Castle Black for our holiday party on the 15th.

The online response to the idea was great, and one reader on FB suggested holding a Westerosi Gingerbread contest. I loved the idea, so I’m extending in invitation to all of you wonderfully creative fans to come up with your own Westerosi cookie castle, and share photos online. 

In my opinion, the most well known castles stack up thusly:

Simpler

• The Twins
• Sept at Quiet Isle

Moderate Difficulty

• Riverrun
• Pyke
• Dragonstone
• Castle Black

You’re Nuts

• King’s Landing
• Winterfell
• The Eyrie

 And if you’re not up for making a castle by yourself, why not make it a party game? Have all your guests bring an assortment of towers, walls, etc, then glue them together with icing. Bam! You’ve just made Harrenhal!

Be sure to send us the photos of your finished castles!
