GingerBread Lane is a non-profit seasonal display of a handmade gingerbread village prepared by chef Jon Lovitch.[1] He has made the display every year since 1994.[2] GingerBread Lane has been featured in the Smithsonian Institution, Richmond, Virginia, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the New York Hall of Science.[3]

The display requires about nine months and 1,500 hours to complete.[1][4][5]

2013 Gingerbread Lane

The 2013 Gingerbread Lane display was exhibited at the New York Hall of Science and weighed 1.5 tons and covered 300 square feet.[6] The display included 135 residential and 22 commercial buildings made of gingerbread along with trees, signs and five two-foot tall nutcrackers.[7] The display was certified by Guinness World Records as the world's largest gingerbread village on November 22, 2013.[7][8][9]

Process

Jon Lovitch, a Kansas City, Missouri-born chef, prepares all the ingredients for the display in his apartment, which is located in the South Bronx area of New York City.[10][11] He often works on the project in the evenings after returning from work at New York's Marriott at the Brooklyn Bridge, where he is executive sous chef.[11]

Lovitch prepares gingerbread, icing and other materials for the display throughout the year and stores completed gingerbread structures in an empty bedroom in his apartment.Шаблон:Cn He later assembles the village by hand at the exhibition site. The Gingerbread Lane display generally begins in November and lasts through early January.[12][13] Lovitch gives away pieces of the gingerbread village to visitors of the display following the last day of the exhibition.[14]
