EDIBLE gingerbread house. Icing cement anyone?

Biggest candy canes. EVERRR

Another angle.

Mr. Pullman? Or the Gingerbread man?

Was off New World Renaissance Hotel earlier to conduct media 1:1 interviews with a client and this fabulous Christmas decor greeted me. First thing I though of was, I should take Sophie here! This will be H-E-A-V-E-N for her! Imagine the humongous candy Christmas tree, the edible gingerbread house, the toys that serves as ornaments and of course, the biggest candy canes!

Definitely one of the best Christmas decorations I've seen. Reminds me of the concept I had last year, when I was heading the decoration of our department office. We made plenty of gingerbread men and we even had like a huge candy cane!!!! Maybe you want to try your own candy land at home? Below is a how-to from www.ehow.com to guide you in preparing your own Candyland Christmas Tree centerpiece: 

Things You'll Need:

• Small terracotta flower pot
• Iridescent glass marbles or aquarium glass
• Wooden skewers
• Chocolate kisses
• Brightly wrapped chocolate balls
• Gumdrops
• Red velvet ribbon
• Scissors
• Hair dryer
• Small fake Christmas tree
• 
  

1. 1
   Position the tree in the flowerpot; the lowest branches of the tree should brush the top of the pot. Put some glass or marbles in before you sit the tree in the pot if necessary. Pour the rest of the marbles or glass over the base to hold it firmly in place. The marbles should reach just below the edge of the pot.
2. 2
   Cut the skewers to different lengths, but don't make any so short that they won't reach the marbles or glass in the flower pot through the branches of the artificial tree.
3. 3
   Push the pointed part of the skewer into the candies. It should not protrude from the other side. Do not unwrap the candies if they are individually wrapped, but poke through the wrappers with the skewer. You may have to heat the chocolate slightly with a hair dryer to get the skewer in.
4. 4
   Push the skewers into the marbles holding up the tree.
5. 5
   Tie the red velvet ribbon in a bow on the top of the tree. Let the tails hang down on either side of the tree. http://www.ehow.com  ###
