Green Gingerbread House Is Completely Organic

Yesterday I mentioned the gingerbread White House but it's not the only impressive gingerbread house around this holiday season. The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte, a new LEED®-built hotel, is keeping up its green theme with an all-organic Gingerbread House. The architect-designed Green Gingerbread House was created by Chef Jon Farace and the culinary and engineering teams of The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte. The edible estate measures 10 feet high by 14 feet wide and is done in a Tudor architectural style. Design highlights include LED lights and a green "vegetated" moss roof inspired by the eco-minded roof of The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte. The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte's Green Gingerbread House complements the hotel's upcoming series of Holiday Teas, which will be offered within the hotel's residential-style 15th floor Living Room on December 12, 19 and 26.Should you be inclined to make your own massive gingerbread house, the truly monumental ingredient list is after the jump.

With Christmas fast approaching, you would find gingerbread in all themes and in fact, you would gingerbread men, gingerbread vehicles, and even gingerbread houses! The Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte, a new LEED®-built hotel have designed a cool new Gingerbread house which is completely organic.

It has been christened Green Gingerbread house and Chef Jon Farace took the pains to build it to immaculate detail. It comes with LED lights, and looks like a Tudor mansion. I would so love to live in a Gingerbread House such as this, so that I could eat my own house, just like the Hansel & Gretel’s tale. However, you never know, and there could be an evil witch lurking inside!
You could also take a look at the enormous quantity of ingredients that was used to build this cool Gingerbread house. I would ask you to visit the Ritz-Carlton, Charlotte and get a look of the house yourself. There is nothing better than Christmas festivities when it comes to eatables and all the great and delicious baked stuff. Even greater is that art that goes behind each of these creations.
