If your mom baked you a tableau of gingerbread zombies would you be scared or stoked? I guess it’s kind of awesome that a parent would be so in-touch with their children’s gaming that they would bake a gingerbread homage to Left 4 Dead 2, a cooperative first-person shooter game.
If gingerbread zombies are what it takes to connect with kids these days then I guess we could be doing a lot worse. I shouldn’t judge because I made a decapitated snowman out of gingerbread for our staff holiday-themed fun day. If anything all the decorative icing on these gingerbread zombies will make them extra sweet.
