The Gingerbread House Tribute Depicts a Movie Scene
To remind you what is the movie about: a boy named Kevin is the son of the huge McCallister family, wherein he was accidentally left alone in their huge McCallister home that is located in a Chicago suburb. While being alone in their home, two wet bandit thieves named Harry and Marv try to rob the said home, only to be foiled by Kevin's elaborate and whacky traps he has made as a defense against the two robbers.
This Christmas family comedy film was directed by Chris Columbus while being written and produced by John Hughes. It stars the child actor Macaulay Culkin (during his time) as Kevin McCallister, the main protagonist, along with the following actors:
- Joe Pesci, as one of the wet bandits named Harry.
- Daniel Stern, as Marv, the other wet bandit that is the partner of Harry.
- John Heard, as Kevin's father in the movie, Peter.
- Catherine O'Hara, the wife of Peter and Kevin's mother.
Now, going back to the movie tribute. According to News 10 ABC, the said tribute is a house replica of the McCallister household. However, it is made purely from gingerbread (for the house model) and white icing (to act as snow) by the food and cake artist named Michelle Wibowo.
Amazingly, the said tribute took the artist almost 300 hours to make. Meanwhile, it measured around 1.25 meters wide and 1.7 meters long, making it a huge diorama of the said house in the movie. Fans of the movie will love the well-sculpted and replicated details from the movie, from the van the robbers drove around the neighborhood, to a scene one of them slips from the snow to an oblivious treehouse near the home.

Aside from those details mentioned above, there are more details that a dedicated fan can find from this well-made tribute. According to CNet, below are the other details that Michelle has included in the gingerbread house model tribute:

Do take note that the actual location of the actual house is located on Lincoln Avenue, in the location of Winnetka, Illinois.
