Grand Gingerbread Village On Display In Waikiki
An amazing gingerbread village is on display at Waikiki’s Sheraton Princess Kaiulani . It’s so dreamy and beautiful, I’d like to move into this village. Wouldn’t you? Sheraton Princess Kaiulani’s Chef Bauer, Pantry Chef Amie Tungpalan, Executive Sous Chef John Hightower and the Engineering Department estimate that they spent over 750 hours designing, constructing and setting up the final art piece. The village stands over 14 feet high and over 24 feet wide. It’s constructed with 225 gallons of icing, 140 pounds of dark chocolate, 50 pounds of white chocolate, and 70 sheets of gingerbread. Chef Bauer created this village to imitate the holiday spirit of quaint mountainside villages of his native country Germany. His creation includes medieval churches, bell towers, train stations, a carousel and a skating rink. Bauer does add a touch of old Hawaii too, with iconic structures including the Kawaihao mission church, the Moana Surfrider and last year’s addition, the Iolani Palace which alone took over six weeks to build. This year, Bauer includes the Aloha Tower as the latest addition to the historical gingerbread landmark creations.

Aloha Friday Photo: Leaping Legends Editions
Friday, January 21, 2011
Mahalo to Go Visit Hawaii’s Italian friends, Marco and Laura, for providing this perfectly captured shot of the daily cliff dive ceremony at Sheraton Maui on Kaanapali Beach. Laura and Marco traveled all the way from Italy to visit three Hawaiian Islands back in August, 2010. Laura writes, We spent our last week at Kaanapali Beach Hotel on Maui; just a few steps away on the beach there is the famous BLACK ROCK. While having pupus … and a gorgeous sunset at the nearby Sheraton Maui bar, we met this lovely Hawaiian guy who was going to “perform” that amazing CLIFF DIVING CEREMONY they hold each day at sunset! He told us that, for ancient Hawaiians, that rock was where a man had to prove to be brave (diving down). They also believed that this place was a sort of passage, a “way” to the “Other World “! And here it is : HE jumped … and I could get him on my camera … still don’t know how I could be so fast … That’s an excellent description, Laura! Just to share a few more bits from my Sheraton Maui Review : Ancient Hawaiians believed that Pu’u Keka’a (Black Rock) is one of the three places where souls of the dead leaped from earth into their ancestral spirit. The Sheraton Maui Resort tells the story and reenacts the cliff diving skill of King Kahekili each evening at sunset. This Maui king was famous and especially revered because he leapt off Pu’u Keka’a (Black Rock) and returned to shore unharmed. Essentially, Hawaiians believed that he jumped into the afterlife and returned. I really enjoy watching this free torch lighting and diving ceremony at the Sheraton Maui. I do recommend you catch it, too — especially if you are staying in or near Kaanapali Beach . You can observe the ceremony from the beach, but you might enjoy sipping a drink at The Cliff Dive Bar where you can listen to a recorded narration explaining the history of this ceremony. Thanks again to Laura and Marco for sharing their gorgeous photo and Hawaii vacation memory with us. © Go Visit Hawaii – Republication of this entire post is prohibited without prior permission.
