A gigantic Gingerbread Village is now on display at the JW Marriott Clearwater Beach Resort & Spa (691 S Gulf Blvd).  The massive sweet creation was unveiled on December 4. Guests and those just curious to see this masterpiece can stop by to see the display through Jan. 2.

To bring the village to life, Chef Inder and his team used 1,000 pounds of gingerbread; 200 pounds of frosting; 200 pounds of candy; 15 village houses; two trains; and 1 giant snowflake. It’s the sweetest city in Florida right now.
