"As part of its half-century tradition, the downtown hotel's annual gingerbread structure—this year created by pastry chef David Diffendorfer—is a likeness of Multnomah Falls featuring miniature replicas of Multnomah Falls Lodge and the Vista House at Crown Point; I was struck that the showstopper was constructed with over 150 pounds of gingerbread, 50 pounds of marzipan, 20 pounds of chocolate, 10 pounds of Rice Krispies Treats, and buckets of royal icing, and that it's on display and open to the public through December 30." - Janey Wong
