MILWAUKEE — It's a time-honored holiday tradition that combines festive fun with architecture and holiday sweets. We're talking about making gingerbread houses. There's nothing like playing architect by testing how many pieces of candy a gingerbread house can hold.
During the month of December, The Pfister Hotel hosted six gingerbread house workshops with its expert pastry chef. According to Travis Martinez, the executive pastry chef at The Pfister Hotel, he said the key to a good gingerbread house is just letting your creativity guide you.
“I think it’s not getting in your own head, so just let loose kind of free form, just go with it," Martinez said.
Guests used more than 20 different kinds of candies to make gingerbread houses, mansions, villas, and manors.
With a touch of a little sugar and spice, these architects made homes that Santa Claus himself would be proud of.
