Each year, The Broadmoor hotel in Colorado Springs is home to an awe inspiring gingerbread and confectionery display. Now, I’m not talking about your regular, every day gingerbread men. I’m talking about larger than life vehicles, cottages, and festive characters made out of sugary sweets.
This year’s exhibition pays tributes to Colorado Springs’ title of Olympic City USA, with Santa and his elves playing various Winter sports.
Now, if you’re like me, you may be wondering why Colorado Springs has the title of Olympic City USA. While the Olympics have never been held in Colorado Springs, the city is home to the US Olympic & Paralympic Committee headquarters, the US Olympic & Paralympic Training Center, and the US Olympic & Paralympic Museum. You learn something new every day!
Ok, enough education for now, let’s check out the display…
Doesn’t it all look delicious? Chocolate elves and reindeer, a gingerbread and macaron bobsled, a skating rink of frosting, ski jumps made of macarons… I’m making myself hungry!
All of these sweet details were made by The Broadmoor’s pastry team, led by executive pastry chef Franck Labasse. Every last macaron, gingerbread brick and chocolate detail was made by the team.
Planning on checking out the gingerbread display at The Broadmoor? If you’re not staying as a guest you’ll have to stick to visiting on specific dates. The Broadmoor’s gingerbread display is open to non-staying guests on Monday December 8th - Thursday December 11th, and Monday December 15th - Thursday December 18th. Hotel guests will be able to view to display through January 1st.
