Schoolchildren join chefs for sweetest festive event at L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa.

Publish date: 14 Dec 2023

Dozens of budding biscuit architects will be helping the chefs create a very festive home sweet home this Christmas.

The children from Mont Nicolle School will be joining Executive Head Chef Andrew Soddy and his team at the AA Four Red Star hotel to build the Hotel’s amazing annual edible installation.

This year’s masterpiece crafted from biscuit bricks and sugar mortar includes a replica of the hotel nestled amongst the sweet-smelling houses.

The youngsters are tasked with decorating and will be armed with plenty of icing and sweeties to get the job done.

Commenting on the project, Andrew said, “When the kitchen starts smelling of ginger and spices you know it’s Christmas at L’Horizon and creating these tiny biscuit buildings is one of the highlights of the season! It takes hours and hours of work so we’re very grateful to have so many little elves coming to help us!”

This gingerbread village, on display from 19th December, is a much-anticipated annual tradition at L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa and a real feast for the eyes.
