Museum of Architecture's Gingerbread City, V&A

The Museum of Architecture's Gingerbread City at the V&A is an exhibition that's as much an exercise in architecture as it is in edible appeal – in fact, it's an exhibition that looks good enough to eat because it is.

Now entering its third year, the architects, designers and engineers participating in the project are given rather tastier raw materials to create their masterpieces than most builders: gingerbread, icing and sweets make up the remarkable structures that are part of Gingerbread City. This year's theme is on 'Imagining the Future City,' and the exhibition is housed in the V&A's Creative Studio space. Admittance for V&A members and children under 12 is free, while general admittance is £6.

Alongside the exhibition are some exciting gingerbread-house building workshops that families can also book at various dates and times throughout the month of December (book here) for £30 per child (accompanying adults go free; children must be aged five and up).

Now, we haven't confirmed this, but we absolutely believe you should be allowed to taste-test the building materials...
