Just in time for the holidays and the upcoming season of "Downton Abbey," cookie artist and "Downton" enthusiast Curtis Jensen put together a gingerbread model of the sprawling English mansion.
In Jensen's four-minute time lapse video, he creates an elaborate edible gingerbread house that looks remarkably like the home of the Granthams.
Check it out below:
This isn't the first time "Downton Abbey" has made a journey into the food world. Back in April, a diorama was constructed starring Peeps donning appropriate period attire.
Season 3 of "Downton Abbey" premieres in the U.S. on Sun., Jan. 6 at 9 p.m. Et on PBS.

Cookie artist Curtis Jensen just made your gingerbread house look like the servants’ quarters.
Every year, this marketing director from Utah creates an elaborate mini-building using just gingerbread, icing, candy and the occasional inedible structural support. In 2011, Jensen tackled Notre Dame; this winter, he set his sights on Downton Abbey, the formidable estate at the center of Julian Fellowes’s eponymous drama.
Whether you watch the show religiously or still think it’s called Downtown Abbey, you’ll be entranced by this video of Jensen’s methodical construction — a time-lapse clip hypnotically scored by an extended version of the Downton Abbey theme song.

On April 22-23, Asbury Park, NJ will once again be taken over by the most toxic film festival in the world! (That’s a good thing.) The 12th annual Tromadance is two days and nights filled with depraved cinematic abuses that will leave you a shattered, emotional wreck. (That’s a good thing, too.)
This year, the fest will screen three feature films, a buttload of shorts, plus two mini-retrospectives.
The features are: 1. Drew Bolduc and Dan Nelson‘s gonzo The Taint, a social satire filled with so much gore and sexual degeneracy you might want to wear a raincoat to the screening; 2. Joshua Grannell‘s horror spoof All About Evil, starring Natasha Lyonne and Cassandra Peterson about a psychotic film auteur who kills people on camera; 3. Miguel Angel Vivas’ brutal assault film Kidnapped.
Some of the short film highlights include Victoria Cook‘s triumphant return to Tromadance with Devil...
