Right around the holidays, have you ever noticed that a lot of hotels actually test their chefs and make them come up with interesting and unique things for the holiday season.  The Westin St. Francis tops it though, this is actually 70 pounds of gingerbread, hundreds of pounds of sugar, sixty pounds of flour and finally so much candy it could rot your teeth straight away if you ate it all.

This is a twelve-foot holiday sugar castle and I have to say that it looks absolutely beautiful … and good enough to eat!  For the last four years, the Westin St. Francis and Houdre, the chef at the Westin St. Francis have built this castle to be on display and it is pretty awesome.

There are a ton of different windows to peek into and 30 different rooms.  The weight?  Right around twelve hundred pounds and it is so worth it!
