In celebration of the Macaulay Culkin-starring holiday film Home Alone‘s 30th anniversary, Disney commissioned food artist Michelle Wibowo to recreate the movie’s iconic central locale, the McCallister family home, entirely out of sugary sweets, and later chronicled the gingerbread house’s construction in a festive Instagram video.
“Home Alone is such a classic Christmas movie, it makes me feel very festive!” Wibowo says in the clip, which details how she spent nearly 300 hours building the edible construction – including 63 trees, 33 windows, and 14 pizza boxes – out of gingerbread and icing.
The miniature measures four feet wide and just under 6 feet long, and includes small details from the film, including a section where Kevin (Culkin) has crashed his sled into a snowbank as well as a tiny version of his tree house – all of which Wibowo deems “hilarious” to see in shrunken form.
