Clockwork Gingerbread Steam Engine: Too Showy?

Hello again, all. The title is a reference to Girl Genius and the short Cinderella story. Regardless, I am contemplating a gingerbread house. My siblings have asked multiple times, "Why?". As you cannot eat them, the attraction is somewhat lost on a 13 year-old boy who is more interested in guns and the military.

I appealed to my cousin to help answer as I was knee-deep in plans. Her answer was simple: "Because it is awesome." Yes, we do awesome things, and the showiness is part of the fun- as I speak we have placed several jolly ranchers in the pre-cooked molasses cookies and they are melting into glass panes.
