During the holiday season at Gaylord National Resort,
there is always a gingerbread display in the lobby.
It always has a different theme and it is always magnificent.
"This year the theme was "Bridges"
Starting in the summer, the pastry teams begins planning every detail of their gingerbread creation.
They then start creating the masterpiece, a labor of love that is baked, built, and decorated
while still making pastries for the resort.
Nearly 20 culinarians from over 10 countries, with a combined 90+ years of experience,
devote over 2,000 hours to this creation.
This years gingerbread uses 40 lbs of Rice Krispies,
50 lbs of fondant, and 100 pounds of royal icing, totaling over 250,000 calories."
The sign did not say how much gingerbread?
The smell of gingerbread permeated throughout the lobby and the details on each structure were amazing.
This was really special!
