How about using crystallized sugar as light pipes and fiber optic strands? I believe you would have to cook down a sugar solution to make it clear and to concentrate it, but after it cools I think it would work well as a light pipe. The electronics and LED's could all be either inside or below the gingerbread house and the light would be 'carried' to the outside by the sugar 'optics'. This way the electronics and what is edible are kept completely separate and everything is safe.
small laser leds would be pretty neat.Hard candy like jolly ranchers that are semitransparent could be heated and reformed into light pipes.The lasers could be mounted in the base that the Gingerbread house sits on.

24 bit LCD Breakout Board now in. $21.99 has backlight driver and touch sensitive decoder.
So then the question becomes how could you make tubes so the leds and wire could be removed before cutting and eating? Could you use spagetti tubes?
OT: Apple hired some guys from the candy industry to develop the translucent plastics as originally found on the macs.
