It’s officially Christmas time! Woo-hoo!
Living in Vancouver there is never a shortage of fun things to do. We prepared our list of activities and/or places to check out during the holiday season well in advance.
Up next on our list was to go and visit the 23rd Annual Gingerbread Lane at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver.
The 40+ gingerbread houses were absolutely spectacular to see. The workmanship and detail that went into them is incredible.
This beautiful one pictured above won first place.
Replica of Vancouver’s Gastown Steam Clock complete with real steam!
This elaborate piece is Vancouver’s largest gingerbread house made by Executive Chef Thomas Heinrich. It stands 11 feet tall and 16 feet wide. It consists of 1400 egg whites, 400lbs of icing sugar & 500lbs of gingerbread dough!
