DECEMBER 7, 2020 - If you’re looking for a bit of Trek-themed fun for this holiday season, have you considered...gingerbread? A Twitter post made the rounds over the weekend for a delicious reason: it showed off a gingerbread model of the U.S.S. Discovery, complete with an entire gingerbread crew.

On Sunday, Twitter user Eve England posted a set of pics of her holiday efforts, with fore and aft views of the Discovery model, the full set of gingerbread crew, and a closeup of one specific cookie decorated like Linus, the Saurian. They captioned the photos, “I know I shouldn’t have favourites, but on this occasion I’ll make an exception. How cute is tiny gingerbread man Linus ?!”

The attention to detail in Eve’s work is inspiring. The 20 gingerbread crewmen include some recognizable faces, including Tilly, Saru, Detmer, and even new characters Ryn, Osyraa, and Book (with his cat Grudge). Likewise, the Discovery model is decorated with sparkling frosting and a handwritten registry number. Modelmakers Eaglemoss would be jealous.

As for Twitter’s reactions, both the official Star Trek account and the account for Star Trek on CBS All Access gave their kudos, and Linus actor David Benjamin Tomlinson even weighed in, saying, “THE CUTEST!!!  (he also looks delicious)”

This isn’t Eve England’s first foray into gingerbread creations; they also have a website called gingerbreadofheaven.com, where you’ll find their previous work, which includes rugby and American football teams, plus movie homages, and even a bit of Star Wars.
