Celebrating Christmas this year Heathrow Airpot, the Europe's largest airport has commissioned Michelle Wibowo to create 5 meters long and 2.5 meters wide massive gingerbread installation at Heathrow Airport Terminal 5. It took Michelle 200 hours to make and weighs around 50kgs!
The gingerbread airport features Heathrow’s four terminals, the runways and the control tower as well as the much loved stars of Heathrow's Christmas advert, Doris and Edward Bair.
Heathrow discovered that one in four Brits (25%) believe that the smell of gingerbread is the main scent that reminds them of the festive season The gingerbread airport is in Heathrow Terminal 5 on Thursday 13 December.
"I would like to take this time to thanks you from the bottom of our hearts on the superhuman effort and skill you put into our cakes.
They were show stoppers. Quite literally when the white TARDIS was brought out during the meal service had to be halted for 90 minutes!!! The 40th one we brought out at the beginning of the meal to ensure that we ate! Thanks so VERY VERY much once again"
