The Royal Park Hotel Gingerbread House – Creating Christmas Masterpieces
The Royal Park Hotel in Rochester, Michigan, creates a massive gingerbread house each year that is a must-see for the holiday season. One of my favorite holiday traditions is to photograph the Royal Park Hotel Gingerbread House creation every holiday. It is always a treat to walk into this luxury hotel and see what they have created for the holidays, and they never disappoint!
Gingerbread Creations
Royal Park Hotel unveils the gingerbread masterpiece in late November to tie it in with Rochester’s Big Bright Light Show. And until early January, the lobby is home to the Royal Park Hotel Gingerbread House/Train/Forest (whatever the creation is) throughout the holidays. They encourage guests and visitors to stop into the lobby to see and photograph the gingerbread masterpieces, even if you aren’t staying overnight.
Tiny Candy Details
Everywhere you look, from Christmas cookies, candy canes to Whirley Pops, you can see the incredible focus on detail in making this holiday treat. There is Christmas goodness everywhere on these displays!
Gingerbread Creation Ingredients List
Each year is a different theme and made with over 200 pounds of candy. You will want to keep coming back year after year to see what amazing design they came up with next. This display is one gingerbread house for the picture books.
