Welcome to Hogwarts, sweet-toothed Harry Potter fans. You won’t find any trolls in the dungeon but you will find gingerbread and frosting, among other delights.

It’s all part of the Duchess Bake Shop‘s way of supporting the Bissell Centre.

Back in August, co-owner Garner Beggs began this massive 1:100 scale replica build of the Hogwarts Castle from the Harry Potter series, which takes up just under 50 square feet of floor space.

“It’s made of gingerbread, sugar … and sugar,” Beggs said with a laugh, standing in front of his creation.

Out of all the projects Beggs has created over the years this, by far, is the largest.

“This one really amped up the complexity for us,” Beggs said.

So how long does it take to make something this big and complex?

“A lot of hours, enough that I’ve listened to the entire Harry Potter audiobooks and many many many podcasts and different things, hundreds and hundreds of hours,” said Beggs.
