Look, I'm as stoked as the next guy for a gingerbread geodesic dome. And while I was gonna grouse about how Scout Regalia's $25 dome kit is pretty much just two pieces of cardboard, and how, really, the gingerbread panels aren't structural, but are just icinged onto the cardboard armature, let's face facts: the likelihood that you'd actually build a geodesic gingerbread dome without this kit are pretty damn close to zero. So Scout is doing the Lord's dome work here.
I will say, though it looks OK in the picture, that I kind of which they'd stopped decorating it about halfway through the video. It's like a kid's unexpectedly brilliant drawing, which they proceed to color in, because they don't know when to stop.

The only problem is that the cardboard isn't edible. Maybe you could make an armature structure underneath out of candy cane trusses instead.

Sweet! What will those SCI-Arc kids think up next?
But point taken, "Home, home in a dome, where eclectic nonsense is nil" seems to have been overlooked here.
"It's like a kid's unexpectedly brilliant drawing, which they proceed to color in, because they don't know when to stop."
That is probably the truest thing I've heard in a long time. Sometimes I feel like the grinch for wanting to snatch my kids' drawings away from them before they turn their little Cy Twomblys into nothing more than schmaltzy over-decorated Schnabels. Other times I distract them before they can overfill the composition and I switch out a fresh piece of paper. ;-)
