Rockford Chef Creates Gingerbread Wrigley Field that Looks too Good to Eat
If it's a tradition in your family to put together a gingerbread house every Christmas, you should know that the bar has just been raised.
Forget the boxed kit you get at your favorite retail store; gone are the days of coating tiny milk cartons in sugary frosting and slapping some graham crackers on it. There's a new chef in town and he's showing us all how the gingerbread house game can be won.
According to WREX, Rockford chef, Gerald Madero, made an edible gingerbread replica of Wrigley Field and it's incrEDIBLE.
Madero says it took him and his chefs 70 hours to complete; it weighs more than 400 pounds and all of it can be eaten except for the players who are made out of legos.
If you'd like to see it in person, it will be on display at the Forest Hills Country Club until after the holidays.
