White House kitchen constructs 300-pound gingerbread house

The White House kitchen is taking the holiday gingerbread house tradition to a whole new level.

The White House released a video showing the time and effort the staff put into making a 300-pound gingerbread house.

The edible house was so large that the staff had to lay down a tarp in one of the rooms in order to have enough space for construction

The final product turned out to be a replica of the Pennsylvania Avenue monument.
