Each year, Bama Dining creates an oversized gingerbread confection of a campus landmark and this holiday season is no different.
Last year, the team made a splash with a 6-foot-long model of the football stadium. This year, visitors can see the gingerbread Denny Chimes at Lakeside Dining.
The bakery team planned the design and the carpentry shop assisted with the base. It takes about three days to complete, using 200 pounds of assorted candies, fondant icing and a mix of traditional and popular sweets. The result is a colorful, detailed creation that amazes visitors. For the staff, the best part is seeing the team come together to create something unique and seeing the joy it brings to those who visit.
