This holiday season, Disney+ commissioned award-winning artist and cake designer Michelle Wibowo to recreate the Home Alone house in gingerbread to mark the 30th anniversary of the classic holiday movie. The place where all the action in Home Alone takes place was faithfully recreated entirely with edible ingredients.
The process of creating the gingerbread house began with studying the architecture of the McCallister family home, then creating sketches of the features of the Chiaco family home. In all, over 300 hours went into creating the festive gingerbread house and fans will delight in every detail from the snow-capped roof to the gingerbread version of Kevin himself that can be seen in the snow. There's also Kevin's treehouse and many of the props that were used to set traps for the burglars.
