Soldiers create gingerbread house of
U.S. Capitol in exquisite detail
A sweet holiday delight, created by
three Soldiers and boasting exquisite detail, greets general officers and other
Army leaders who dine at the Army Executive Dining Facility at the Pentagon.
The sugary delight, a gingerbread house of the U.S. Capitol, is a welcome diversion that brings a smile to Army leaders who have very hectic schedules and are in and out of meetings all day, said Spc. Samantha Poe. Poe, who designed the gingerbread house, assembled the creation with Sgt. Rose Picard and Sgt. Kyoungmin Park. The gingerbread house is on display in the entryway of the exclusive Pentagon dining area. "It is a great way to remind people of the holidays," said Picard, a pastry chef. "They walk in to the smell of gingerbread. It's nice for the holidays." Details on the house include tiny wreaths and candles on the windows, licorice garland, candy adornments, and sugary icicles and snow. The items used in making the two-foot-tall structure include 32 pounds of gingerbread and 20 pounds of powdered sugar, as well as an assortment of sweets, including marshmallows and ice cream cones.
