Home, sweet home
The gingerbread display unveiled Tuesday at the Four Seasons Hotel in
Newport Beach featured more than cookie-cutter homes.
There were buildings and bridges, streets and, of course, storybook
cottages made by pastry chef Sheldon Millet.
The 2000 Gingerbread Village Wonderland is part of the fourth annual
fund-raiser to benefit Toys for Tots. It runs through Dec. 24.
Visitors can name parts of the village for $100 to $2000. The proceeds
will be donated to Toys for Tots, a charity that provides toys to
underprivileged children during the holiday season. A giant sleigh in the
hotel’s lobby will collect new, unwrapped toys.
In the last two weeks, since the event has been advertised, organizers
have sold about $10,000 worth of the sugar, flour, eggs and candy
creations in the last two weeks. Their goal is to raise at least $15,000.
