[Disney4me]

Follow the scent of gingerbread into the stately lobby of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa at the Disneyland Resort, and there you’ll find the “Grand” Gingerbread House. Standing seven feet tall and 12 feet wide, this massive confection took a whopping 1,400 hours to bake and assemble.

What does it take to make such a beautiful (and edible) display?

• 600 pounds gingerbread
• 600 pounds powdered sugar
• 12 gallons egg whites
• 3.5 gallons lemon juice
• 150 pounds fondant
• 1 pound glitter

The gingerbread house is assembled using a little magic and a lot of skill by six craftsmen, two electricians and 16 bakers and pastry chefs.
