“The Capitol made from gingerbread? You butter believe it!”
The House Creative Services on Instagram sharing a photo of this year’s Capitol Gingerbread Replica display.
A holiday tradition, the baked feat took 83 hours to make. It stands an estimated three feet tall and more than five feet long, with a gingerbread structure made possible using 75 pounds of flour, 10 pounds of butter and 150 candy canes.
Did You Know? Decorating gingerbread houses during the holiday season began in the early 1800s in Germany after the 1812 fairytale story of Hansel and Gretel mentioned the witch’s house made of sweets!
