This luxurious gingerbread house took more than 500 hours to build, is a legit dream home

A 6-foot long gingerbread house styled after an elaborate English mansion just put every gingerbread house we’ve ever made to shame – but we can’t even be mad about it.

The elaborate gingerbread creation took more than 500 hours for London cookie company, Biscuiteer, to make. It features floor-to-ceiling icing reproductions of fine art (seriously!), gold-dipped furniture, ornate rugs, and perfectly-patterned bedding.

The company built the house to look like real-life Waddesdon Manor, a neo-renaissance estate known for its elaborate rooms sure to give you Downton Abbey vibes.

The replica only contains gingerbread and icing, according to House Beautiful, with no wood or cardboard to support walls or ceilings. The masterpiece required 240 eggs, 66 pounds of butter and sugar, and 480 pounds of icing.

Anyone else hungry just looking at it? You’ll have to satisfy your craving somewhere else. The house is on display until January 2nd — and with the sheer amount of work creating it required, you can be certain it isn’t on the menu.
