Building materials also include 650 pounds of colored candy and 1,200 pounds of icing. Not to leave out fido, the Victorian gingerbread home will also include a house just for the pooch. Depending on the dates you are in the area, you can call ahead and find out when the next Gingerbread Holiday Tea will be held and create a memory that will last a lifetime.
