NEW YORK, USA -- Chef Jon Lovitch spent the last ten months baking a 300 square-foot gingerbread village consisting of a colossal 2240 pounds of royal icing, 500 pounds of gingerbread and 400 pounds of M&Ms, candy canes, jelly beans, jujubes, gum drops and dozens of other candy decorations which breaks the previous Guinness World Records' record and set the new world record for the Largest gingerbread village,

 The Guinness World Records' record for the largest gingerbread house had an internal volume of 1,110.1 m³ (39,201.8 ft³) and was created by Traditions Club (USA) at Traditions Club, Bryan, Texas, USA on 30 November 2013. The house was 6.12 m (60 ft) long, 12.80 m (42 ft) wide and approximately 18.28 m (20. 11 ft) tall at its highest point.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest gingerbread man; it weighed 651 kg (1,435 lb 3 oz) and was made by IKEA Furuset (Norway) in Oslo, Norway.

  A New York City chef has created a record-breaking gingerbread village using 861kg of icing sugar, 181kg of lollies and over 200kg of gingerbread dough.

  Chef Jon Lovitch has spent almost the entire year creating the village.

  He made it piece by piece in his apartment in the Bronx, in an oven that can only hold one baking pan at a time. Then he assembled it at the New York Hall of Science, where it's now on display.

  
  In accordance with the Guinness Book of World Records' guidelines, all buildings were at least 15 cm (5.9 in) in height, the village consisted of 135 residential buildings and 22 commercial buildings.

   "My wife likes the fact that I work on it at home, and I'm not out gambling or drinking," he told the New York Times.
