The time counts from when he started sketching the City Hall by hand on graph paper, test-built with paper parts, and to the gingerbread house being complete.
I was very pleased with it, actually. It was most fun to decorate it.
This is not the first time Patrik Larsson thinks big when making gingerbread houses. Previously, he has, among other things, made pastries in the shapes of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland in California, USA, and Skokloster Castle in Uppland.
It probably took around 40 hours. It has about 450 windows or something like that, he says.
Do you have any tips for someone who wants to do something similar?
I use a glue gun instead of sugar. It's much, much better. Otherwise, it takes too long and gets too messy.
