The gingerbread creation has evolved throughout the years, from its small beginnings as a gingerbread house that was transformed into a gingerbread lighthouse, to most recently a gingerbread train. New this year, the amazing Royal Park Hotel pastry team re-purposed the gingerbread house frame into a holiday Salvation Army store front which will be adjacent to the train.

The Gingerbread Express is surrounded by Christmas decorations and is loaded with a bag filled with toys Santa needs to deliver. The giant gingerbread toy train is made up of all edible pieces that are constructed to look like a functional train! Gingerbread planks, candy bolts, fondant siding, and more!

The “mitten” tree will return, with a paper mitten ornament hung for every $10 or $25 donation. To help kick-start the donations, the David W. Elliott Memorial Foundation will generously contribute $5,000 to support The Salvation Army’s efforts to help those in need.

Those with a sweet tooth will be truly amazed as the hotel’s restaurant, Park 600, will deck the halls with delicious desserts. Calories don’t count when it’s for a good cause because $1 from every dessert sold will support The Salvation Army of Metro Detroit’s 2018 Red Kettle Campaign.
