Wondering what 54,000-plus calories worth of gingerbread looks like? Colorado Springs, Colorado’s, The Broadmoor can show you with its annual gingerbread display, now parked at the resort’s main building mezzanine. Get your holiday engines into drive, as this year, the display isn’t your traditional gingerbread house or building — it’s a vintage car made of gingerbread and chocolate.

Inspiration for this year’s design came from The Broadmoor’s founder Spencer Penrose and his 1937 Flathead V-8 Cadillac Touring Car, first purchased to be part of the hotel’s fleet of limousines to transport Broadmoor guests to and from the hotel and sightseeing excursions. The car will stay parked at the resort through New Year’s Day. To check out more of the resort’s historic collection and vintage vehicles, visit Penrose Heritage Museum. Julie Penrose’s 1928 custom Cadillac limousine is on display there.
