World’s Largest Gingerbread House.

By Alex in Food & Drink, Pictures, Travel on Dec 16, 2006 at 1:06 pm

Gingerbread artist Roger Pelcher built the world’s largest gingerbread house at Mall of America. How large? Here’s some relevant statistics:

The gingerbread house has 1,496 square feet (larger than my house!)
Built from 14,250 pounds of gingerbread and 4,750 pounds of icing
It took approximately 1,700 work-hours in nine days to build.
Embellishments include: 1,800 Hershey’s chocolate bars; 2,800 pearsons nut rolls; 1,200 feet of Twizzlers; 100 pounds of Tootsie Rolls; 300 pounds of DOTS; 100 12" Whirly Pops; and thousands of other candies.

So disapointed..
I’m expecting now the biggest STRUCTURAL gingerbread house. Anybody can slap a couple of slices on a wall, but building a real house with gingerbread is left to be seen. That woudl be a structural challenge…

I sure would like a piece of that house… but it probably is all moldy and rotten now since it’s 2009 and almost 2010.

Whats wrong with you guys. Yeah it would be awesome to see a STRUCTURAL gingerbread house. But this is just as hard to build. Your disappointed, your one of those critics that don’t know anything, a writer, not an acual builder. I’l like to see you do this. You won’t even last a second, won’t even know what to make the door out of. So keep your comments to yourself….psh disappointed, I should smack you across the face for saying that.
