We were lucky enough to visit the Ritz Carlton in Naples FL to see the Giant Gingerbread house this Holiday Season. It is truly impressive. We were so excited since we watched the Holiday Baking Championship and were great supporters of the Ritz Carlton's pastry chef Lerome Campbell.
This house is built of 1200 gingerbread bricks, 294 lbs of honey, 240 lbs of sugar, 464 eggs, 13 lbs of baking soda, 74 lbs of milk, 8 lbs of baking powder, 48 lbs of ginger, 3 lbs of cinnamon, 756 lbs of AP flour, 44 lbs of egg whites, 391 lbs of icing sugar and wait for it.....
60,000 pieces of candy!
As well as 1,000 labor hours to build it!
It was quite impressive we had a great time visiting it and admiring all of the beautiful work by amazing the amazing artists.
