John Hauser, Pastry Chef at Hamilton Princess & Beach Club, said: “Last year’s Gingerbread Moongate was a huge success and the perfect solution for socially distanced photo-ops – so we couldn’t resist recreating it again! This year’s version is even more spectacularly decorated and the lobby already smells fantastic. A special, sturdy gingerbread recipe was used for the creation, including 120kg of flour, 50kg of molasses, 30kg of butter and 250 eggs along with the hotel’s secret blend of spices.”

“Continuing the yearly tradition, the Gingerbread Moongate took a team of chefs and engineers, led by Pastry Chef John Hauser, 90 man-hours to build from scratch. It is modelled after the moongate on Flagpole Terrace and is even lit up with similar lights – the perfect gateway to the hotel’s festivities. “This year’s iteration will be flanked by small gingerbread creations that reflect the hotel and the season, tying it all together in a perfect Christmas bow! Amongst these other decorations will be homages to the hotel’s iconic art collection, candy canes and mistletoe. It stands at 10ft tall and spans almost the entire width of the lobby, weighing in at more than 300lbs.
