The Sheraton Princess Kaiulani is displaying a gingerbread village so large you can walk through it, at least through the holidays.

Executive chef Ralf Bauer, along with executive sous chef John Hightower and pantry chef Amie Tungpalan, spent 250 hours creating Santa’s German Gingerbread Village, which is 14 1/2 feet tall and 24 feet wide and is made with 120 gallons of icing, 60 pounds of dark chocolate, 20 pounds of white chocolate and 30 sheets of gingerbread.
Bauer designed the village to replicate those in his native Germany, with medieval churches, bell towers, train stations, a carousel and an ice-skating rink.
The village is on display in the hotel lobby. For more information, call 922-5811.
