白宫豪华白巧克力姜汁饼屋

Each year, the White House Pastry Team comes together with other members of the White House staff to work on a favorite holiday tradition: The White House Gingerbread House. Everyone from White House carpenters to plumbers to electricians lend their expertise to help make this project a success. The recipe called for more than 150 pounds of gingerbread dough and 250 lbs of white chocolate. Special features of this year's gingerbread house include a shadow box view of the State Dining Room and marzipan renderings of the vegetable garden and our favorite four-pawed friend, Bo.

每年，对于白宫的点心小组来说，这是每年白宫的一项传统：制作白宫姜汁饼屋。白宫所有的员工，从木匠，管道工到电工都会协助他们一起完成。一个姜汁饼屋要耗费150磅姜汁面团，250(英)磅的白巧克力。今年还增加了新的元素，厨师们把微缩的总统餐厅，蔬菜园和小狗Bo也加了进来。
