Since the menu lacks the razzel and dazzle I am making several sculptures in bread and marzipan.

Sounds like a wonderful undertaking.  One thing I would suggest is 
period gingerbread...don't have a recipe at hand at the moment, but I'm 
sure that there's one in the Flory-thingey.   We served this at a demo 
we did for a Girl Scout function...and it was a howling success.  I did 
cut back a bit on the ginger and pepper as the period recipes can be a 
little strong!
