Hope you had a good Christmas, and my present to you all is two things that should be combined more often – Disney and confectionery goods.

Every year (though this is the first time I have seen it) the Sheraton’s culinary team and Seattle’s top architecture firms create a gingerbread village to support charity. This year’s display is befitting the JDRF Northwest Chapter, and even better the theme is “Once upon a Time”!

I strongly had to resit the urge to take a big bite out of them.

Ariel’s underwaster castle

Complete with Ursula’s cave

Jasmine’s Palace

So many little touches like Genie saving Aladdin

Beast’s enchanted castle

Alice in Wonderland

Narnia, wardrobe and all

Not Disney but a Grimm’s Fairytale Castle, the drawbridge even worked!
