Season and Debuts 18th Annual Gingerbread Display
Winter wonderland features ten distinct gingerbread houses, inspired by veteran Pastry
Chef’s hometown in France
November 16, 2016, Las Vegas, U.S.A.
Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas will debut its popular gingerbread display, created by veteran Pastry
Chef Jean-Luc Daul and his talented pastry team, in the lobby of the AAA Five Diamond Hotel on Sunday,
November 20, 2016 for the 18th consecutive year.
The Hotel’s in-house design partner, Destinations by Design, will also install an 18-foot (5.5 metre)
Christmas tree at the base of the grand staircase. The gingerbread display and tree will remain in place
throughout the holiday season and will be removed on December 26, 2016.
For years, Hotel guests and Las Vegas locals alike have visited the display, which was inspired by Daul’s
hometown of Alsace, France. Designed to resemble a quaint French village, the display will feature ten
houses made entirely of gingerbread, chocolate and sugar, with each structure boasting unique design
features. New this year, the houses will boast a sophisticated gold and white colour scheme.
Fun facts - the holiday village is made from:
•
200 pounds (91 kilograms) powdered sugar
•
5 gallons (23 litres) of egg whites
•
27 pounds (12 kilograms) of chocolate
•
91 pounds (41 kilograms) of almond marzipan

•
60 pounds (27 kilograms) of fondant
9 ounces (255 grams) of gold, silver and blue flakes

during his esteemed career, prior to joining the team at Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas in 1999.
