The Gingerbread Man: Gingerbread Mount Vernon

White house pastry chef, Roland Mesnier, gingerbread house, mt. vernon
THIS WEEK: We've always thought Mt. Vernon was just about beautiful enough to eat — and finally, someone agrees with us. Former White House pastry chef Roland Mesnier is making our dreams come true this week.

Chef Mesnier will be inside Mt. Vernon constructing a gigantic replica of George Washington's former home out of gingerbread for Christmas. The structure will be highly-detailed and will include a number of figurines made out of marzipan. Drop by any time between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to watch him while he works and smell some of that delicious, delicious gingerbread.

We're salivating already.

» Mt. Vernon, 3200 Mount Vernon Memorial Highway, Mount Vernon; through Tue., Nov. 24, free; 703-780-2000.
