Week #2 - Gingerbread and Chocolate Carousel
by Breezanemom

Walt Disney World

Each year, the chefs at Disney create a carousel made entirely of edible materials, mostly chocolate and gingerbread.
It is always gorgeous, and this year is no exception.
Yes, it is constantly moving, just like a real carousel.
Yes, it plays Christmas music.

This is what it is made of:
36 pounds of honey
96 pounds of bread flour
100 pints of eggs
10 pounds of spices
10 quarts of simple syrup
150 pounds of icing
50 pounds of dark chocolate
50 pounds of modeling chocolate
200 gum paste flowers
"Lots of enthusiasm, energy and talent"
2015 pieces of gingerbread
16 silver hidden Mickeys

Oh my! How big in that carousel? Beautiful decorated. Does it smell like chocolate?

Quite impressive! Oh, my granddaughter would so want to climb on, and then eat her way through it all too. ;) Nicely shot, Lisa.

Disney World does everything in a big way. One hundred and fifty pounds of icing is a lot of icing!!! And 16 hidden Mickeys... This Carousel is amazing. You did good with your P900.
