‘Grand’ New Gingerbread House on Display at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa

[Disney4me]

Have you seen the “Grand” New Gingerbread House in the lobby of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa at the Disneyland Resort? Standing at over 7 ½ feet tall and 12 feet wide, this creation took a team of 25 talented artists, engineers and bakers more than 1,400 hours to create.

What goes into a gingerbread house of this scale?

• More than 600 lbs. of gingerbread
• 100 gallons of frosting
• 2 gallons of egg whites
• 1 quart of lemon juice
• 150 lbs. of sugar
• 100 lbs. of isomalt sugar
• 75 lbs. of powdered sugar

If the aroma of gingerbread makes you hungry, gingerbread and snowman shortbread cookies are available for sale. Or bring home a piece of the magic with the Mickey Elf Mug filled with cookies or traditional German stollen bread served in a Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa exclusive souvenir box. Hot chocolate, hot cider and pumpkin hot chocolate are also available (adults can add rum to any of these).

Don’t forget to look for Hidden Mickeys – there are several in this year’s design.
