Headline: RAW VIDEO: British designer creates 12-foot Christmas Tree crafted from 1,000 cookies
Caption: A British designer has created the world’s tallest Christmas tree — made entirely out of biscuits. Debbie Wingham, who’s famous for her extravagant and jaw-dropping creations, unveiled the masterpiece earlier on today (21 Nov) at a hotel in Marbella, Spain. Towering at a jaw-dropping 12 feet and crafted from more than 1,000 handmade cookies, the edible installation marks the launch of Wingham’s new gourmet brand, Crumbz Cookies. And in true Wingham style, the display is nothing short of opulent. The colossal tree, which now dominates the prestigious La Fonda Heritage Hotel, is built on a reclaimed wooden structure with every cookie fixed in place using chocolate. It follows a long line of world records for Wingham, who has previously created the world’s most expensive Christmas tree, advent calendar, and a Dolce & Gabbana gingerbread house. Inside the hotel’s soaring mezzanine, guests are greeted by a cascade of gingerbread men, Christmas jumper cookies, mini trees, and stars. Traditional favourites such as linzer cookies — stuffed with jam or chocolate — sit side by side with highly detailed designer pieces. Cinnamon sticks, candied fruit, oversized chocolate coins and nostalgic festive candies complete the decadent scene. Nestled among the decorations are signature treats from Crumbz, including the Sprinkle Pinatta, the OG, and the Mint Chocolate Fondant. At the foot of the structure, Wingham has added a charming village of designer gingerbread houses and wintery pinecone landscapes, turning the base of the installation into its own miniature Christmas world. And it’s not just a visual spectacle. Visitors are met with a warm, spicy blend of cinnamon, ginger and holiday aromas — a scent Wingham describes as “the smell of Christmas.”
