What takes 90 pounds of dough, 22 pounds of royal icing, 402 gingerbread pieces and 125 hours to create?
This year the Hotel Galvez has outdone themselves with an entire gingerbread village that retells the story in the poem “The Night Before Christmas.”
Gingerbread plates beside each of the nine houses in the village have a portion of the poem neatly painted in coffee extract.
Trees made from icing covered ice cream cones, whimsical characters of fondant and even a little quilt covered bed made from a Rice Krispies treat bring the story to life. The bases for each vignette are made of gingerbread as well, and covered with “snow” created from powdered sugar and coconut.
The display is open to the public and will only be there through January 2, 2020…so hurry in to see this tasty display in person.
In the meantime, you can get a peek at this wonderful creation in this video. Enjoy!
