Imagine brightly colored gumdrops, candy canes, peppermints, licorice, and lots of icing. Talk about a sugar rush. Decorating gingerbread houses is a fun festive activity for the whole family. And it’s even more fun when it’s larger than life.
The talented students from the Niagara Falls Culinary Institute took this tradition to the next level by creating the largest life-size gingerbread village in Western New York. You can walk around and explore this gingerbread village in Niagara Falls on weekends starting on November 24 through December 22.
