Something we wish we HAD eaten...

On our last day in San Francisco the Fairmont Gingerbread House was formally unveiled for the holiday season. They'd been working on it all week, and each time we walked through the lobby our mouths watered at the scent of gingerbread that was wafting throughout. It smelt even more incredible than it looked. And it looked pretty incredible.

This twenty-foot-high confection contains 7500 gingerbread bricks and 1200 pounds of icing. It's decorated with 650 pounds of colourful candy pieces. Unfortunately we didn't get to sample it, and by the time Christmas has come and gone I highly doubt it will be edible. Such a waste!
