PRESS RELEASE
December 09, 2013
Barona Resort & Casino has unveiled a magical gingerbread village called
"Barona's North Pole" which was created by members of Barona's award-winning
culinary team. The village was the vision of Chef de Cuisine Erin DePompeo
working with Chef de Partied Ashley Rodney and with help from Chef Jose Barajas.
Measuring 50 feet long, the gingerbread village welcomes guests to Barona's
bustling food court and entrance to the Season's Fresh Buffet. Chef Erin and her
Santa's helpers spent more than 900 hours creating the winter wonderland on
weekends and before and after their shifts.
"We had so much fun planning and building this village over the past year and
now it is bringing us even more enjoyment as we watch all of Barona's guests
stop to look at it," said Chef Erin DePompeo. "They are taking photos and
talking about how it brings back memories of their childhood. And, every time
they come back they see a new character or little detail. We are glad it is
bringing so much joy to so many people."
The buildings, characters and intricate decorations are constructed almost
entirely from edible products including butter, cinnamon, sugar, candies,
chocolate, cloves, flour, fondant, gelatin molasses and shortening.
The village was inspired by Chef Erin's favorite holiday memories. The display
features a snow covered village complete with Santa's Workshop with three rooms
including Santa's private retreat with a roaring fireplace, tiny elves building
toys in Santa's workshop and a gift wrapping room where the elves load up gifts
on Santa's sleigh. Out front there is a miniature Christmas tree lot and a pen
where Santa's reindeer are fed and rest up for the night of delivering gifts to
good girls and boys. Other areas of the village include a scene with beloved
characters including Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, a polar bear plunge, a mine
with elves gathering bags of coal for those who have been naughty instead of
nice, a train station where an electric train can stop on its way around the
display as well as a bakery, shops and even an elf tavern.
"This gingerbread village was a true labor of love for Erin, Ashley and Jose and
it really captures the essence of the holidays," said Rick Salinas general
manager of Barona Resort & Casino. "Everyone who stops by to see the village is
amazed by all of the artistry and incredible details. This is truly one of those
things that cannot be described in words. The entire Barona Resort & Casino is
beautifully decorated for the season and this incredible display is just another
reason to come out and see us for the holidays."
Barona's gingerbread village will be on display through December 30, 2013.
