Life-Sized, Edible Carousel at the Beach Club Resort


This year marks the 10th anniversary of the life-sized, edible Christmas Carousel built each year at Disney's Beach Club Resort in Disneyworld. According to the official Disney Parks blog, pastry chefs use 100 pounds of icing, 50 pounds of dark chocolate and 36 pounds of honey to build the carousel. Also, 100 pounds of confectioner sugar and 96 pounds of bread flour go into the structure. The spinning carousel includes ponies made of chocolate and fondant, hand-painted chocolate “Fab Five” Disney characters surrounded by snowflakes on the side of gingerbread and giant candy cane poles. Pretty "sweet"!
