00:19to imagine the city's greatest icons in baked goods in edible form

00:27and create a winter wonderland here, a winter baked goods wonderland at the Museum.

00:34Some of my favorite of the 21 creations on view are the Newtown Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant in Brooklyn

00:42which is an incredible icon for Brooklynites, but also a very, very technically complicated creation to bring to life.

00:52I love the A Tree Grows in Brooklyn street scene, the Statue of Liberty is here,

00:58and of course we have the Governor's Island Ferry, the Roosevelt Island Tram, the Christopher Street Subway Station,

01:06all of your transit in gingerbread right here at the Museum of the City of New York.

01:10In the past we've mostly had people create icons in buildings, consider buildings, and New York City icons on the street.

01:20But this year we actually had somebody create a New York City icon of food

01:26that Daigle and Cream Cheese is really one of the special ones we've got on view this year.
