This is the gingerbread estate that makes a unique confectionery gift when personalized with a message or a name of up to 15 characters. Only available from Hammacher Schlemmer and reviving the craft of the lebkuchler from medieval Europe, this stately version of the classic gingerbread house is crafted by hand from only the highest quality ingredients using a renowned German recipe. Arriving pre-assembled, the estate is constructed from sheets of gingerbread that form the gabled roof and windowed walls. Frosting trim accents add character to corners, eaves, and imply freshly fallen snow on the roof, which is textured to give the appearance of shingles. Each window is decorated with frosting flower boxes while the roof’s ridgeline features hard candy finials. Green frosting landscaping dotted with red, silver, and white sprinkles complement frosting wreaths on each side and the front doors. The estate is edible for 12 months if unopened, or for 21 days if opened. If not personalized, Happy Holidays will be used. Made in U.S. 18 1/2" H x 26" W x 20" D. (14 lbs.)
