From the brioche apartment buildings to the doughnut lighthouse to the cracked egg waterfall forming the town river, Pastry-Ville is a sweet lovers鈥 paradise. The Garden District鈥檚 asparagus houses and carrot row houses are made of fondant, while the upside down ice-cream cones turn waffle cones into cozy homes.
With its charming candy cane bridge, jellybean pathways and classic gingerbread house, transporting the 4-foot structure was the morning鈥檚 entertainment for passersby in Soho, as chefs and students navigated the long block at a snail鈥檚 pace. Says Chef Chan, 鈥淭aking a large, complex and detailed sugar showpiece through the streets of Soho on a cart to Bloomingdale鈥檚 was risky and a little insane.鈥
