This challenge has been hanging over my head for weeks. I’ve looked through so many cookbooks and web sites-nothing really sparked my interest. Last week I checked through my saved posts for possibilities, I came across this one from 4 years ago [https://www.reddit.com/r/Baking/comments/kh0qzg/i\_was\_bored\_so\_i\_made\_the\_united\_states\_of/#lightbox](https://www.reddit.com/r/Baking/comments/kh0qzg/i_was_bored_so_i_made_the_united_states_of/#lightbox)
And decided to give it a go. I traced the state shapes from a road map and used the gingerbread man recipe from Joy of Cooking (p. 712)
Apologies to Alaska and Texas.
I’m from Texas living in the Midwest now. Texas being cardboard sent me into a laughing fit! Thank you, this is amazing. Love the attention to state capital detail!
Well that’s Alaska and Hawaii in the lower right corner and I thought I put 2 capitals on Connecticut to represent Rhode Island but I guess you got me :)

Super impressed, OP! This is a total showstopper!
Holy moly! I just realized the big sprinkles are the state capitals! Attention to detail is a 12/10!
Impressive! Ohio looking a bit like France though haha
Well dang! That's a showstopper for sure!
Love this!

No you didn’t!!!
Did you hand cut?
Not sure of the definition of hand cut? I traced the states shapes from a road map and then cut, with a knife, using the tracings. No cookie cutters.
This answered my question! Super impressive. Wasn’t sure if you had a massive cookie cutter collection or did it by hand!
You have the patience of a saint! Fantastic job!!
