Holiday Family Fun: Gingerbread Village

I was recently at the Sheraton hotel downtown for business and was able to finally see the Gingerbread Village I've been hearing about. Each year the culinary team at the Sheraton partners with local architect firms to design and bake larger than life gingerbread creations. The theme this year is "holiday express" and featured edible representations of train stations from around the world. I took a few photos with my camera phone:
Grand Central Station - New York City
Gare du Palais - Quebec, Canada
Flinders Street Station - Melbourne, Australia
Kings Cross Station - London, England
Dunedin Railway Station - New Zealand
Island of Misfit Toys - North Pole
Go check out the Gingerbread Village this year if you're in town. Admission is free but donations are happily accepted for the JDRF northwest chapter. The village will be on display through January 1st!
