A Kansas City congregant is making headlines with her beautifully constructed gingerbread replica of Notre Dame. The massive 8-ft artwork, featured above, was the handiwork of Lisa Stiffler, who completed the project using upwards of 450 pounds of ingredients.
This is not the first work of gingerbread art that Stiffler has made. She explained to KSHB41 that the whole thing was the idea of Father Steven Rogers, pastor of Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Weston. Three years ago he commissioned Stiffler to create a gingerbread replica of their own church.
The following year Lisa stepped it up with a gingerbread replica of St. Peter’s Basilica, complete with St. Peter’s Square. The construction of St. Peter’s was such a monumental undertaking that she took 2018 off, but after the fires raged in Notre Dame this past April, Stiffler thought it was only right to pay tribute to one of the Catholic Church’s greatest landmarks.
... 
so I find her gingerbread art to be something really special.
