The Grand Californian Gingerbread house is a 500lb house made of real gingerbread and inspired by the arts and crafts style of the hotel with the childlike whimsy of a child's christmas. It's featured in the hotel lobby every Holiday Season. For 2017, we wanted to include Chip and Dale in the design . I concepted and illustrated the chipmunk's new pose that was then handed off to the resort's bakers to add to the redesign. My illustration was also sold on chocolate bars at the resort.
