This is the worlds largest gingerbread house! It’s 1,496 square feet and built from 14,250 pounds of gingerbread and 4,750 pounds of icing! It took approximately 1,700 work-hours and nine days to build. Some of the embellishments include: 1,800 Hershey’s chocolate bars, 2,800 nut rolls, 1,200 feet of Twizzlers, 100 pounds of Tootsie Rolls, 300 pounds of DOTS and thousands of other candies!
The official White House gingerbread house was designed by the White House Pastry Chef Bill Yosses. It is displayed in the State Dining Room of the White House. The replica, made of white chocolate, features a miniature Bo (hard to see, but bottom center), a miniature White House vegetable garden and a view inside to replicate the State Dining Room.
Of course Martha always has the sweetest designs. I love this simple house; it would be a perfect centerpiece at any holiday party.
The worlds tallest gingerbread house? The sad thing is that I would gladly except the challenge of trying to eat it all…lol
