Kitchen:an artist creates a gigantic gingerbread castle [Slide]

Creativity and cooking can work miracles… Like the incredible work done by artist and cook Christine McConnell, which smells like the end of the year celebrations! We are used to seeing these lovely little gingerbread houses (well, in movies only in real life, but still), well the level has gone 10 notches above with… the gingerbread castle 'spices ! The young woman combined her talent and patience to create the work, at the request of the site Food.com . And she's 1.50 meters tall!

The online recipe

And the least we can say is that the artist has an eye for detail:snowflakes skilfully arranged on the roofs of the towers, miniature fir trees adorned with Christmas balls... The details are impressive, especially the many small stained glass windows inlaid here and there, which are actually made of transparent candy. The result, meanwhile, might be hard to get on a table over the holidays, but if you want to give it a try, the expert has shared the recipe in full here (well, it's in English, but that will allow us to revise at the same time). Good luck!

We will rather stay to look at this castle which reminds us of Hogwarts and which puts a lot of stars in our eyes!
