World's Largest Gingerbread House.

Posted by Alex in Food & Drinks, Pictures, Travel & Places on December 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.
