The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain's pastry chefs created a showstopping life-size gingerbread car for the holiday season that will delight visitors this holiday season. The gingerbread creation features 1,000 gingerbread tiles and 500 pounds of candy atop a real Jeep that's surrounded by a colorful desert scene—including a tortoise, coyote and even piles of "sand" made from crushed graham crackers.
The gingerbread car took hundreds of hours to complete and promises to dazzle guests, offering a fun photo opportunity that shares something different than traditional gingerbread scenes.
Ranger Ainsley the yellow lab, the official lobby greeter for The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain, also has his own gingerbread doghouse to enjoy for the season.
