WATCH: Two-storey gingerbread house opens for the holidays in San Francisco

It’s a delicious, eight-year long tradition: a life-size gingerbread house to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

San Francisco’s Fairmont Hotel is hosting the two-storey tall edible building, which the builders had been planning since last summer.

Breaking news from Canada and around the world sent to your email, as it happens.

Executive Chef Drew Court said that the house was made from “over seven and a half thousand bricks, 700 pounds of candy, and nearly 2,000 pounds of sugar.”

Unfortunately, nibbling on the structure is strictly prohibited.
