A baker created the world’s most expensive gingerbread house for a couple’s proposal, worth £6.3million, inspired by Dolce & Gabbana and decorated with diamonds.
Debbie Wingham, 41, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, made the mammoth gingerbread creation using 15kg of flour and 17 kilos of sugar.
The designer and food artist spent two weeks crafting the house, which featured intricately patterned edible rice paper ‘designer’ clothes hung up inside.
To top it off, the house was used to display a loose pink diamond, worth £3.1million, and three individual pink diamonds worth £1million each – and the creation was used for a proposal.
The newly-engaged couple are set to use the diamonds to create their own ring and matching jewellery.

Debbie spent weeks on the house and filled it with homemade clothing accessories inkeeping with the designer theme
She perfected edible mannequins and clothes, made from rice paper, designed to look like those from the famous D&G Puerto Banus store
Debbie said: ‘I have made sugar art pieces for many clients from royals to celebrities and for occasions from bar mitzvah to weddings and big corporate brand launches, but this was my first proposal confection.
‘I’m delighted that my client is now going into the New Year with a fiancé.’
Debbie creates life-like cakes and has made cakes for celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Ru Paul.
This time she was tasked with creating a gingerbread house as part of a proposal.
The mother-of-three used ginger cookie for the structure of the house and icing sugar, chocolate, sprinkles, and fondant for the decorations.

The house even contains mini cabinets holding a stunning array of D&G shoes and bags
The house stands at just under one metre tall and 75cm wide, and has the designer Dolce & Gabbana theme due to it being the clients’ favourite store.
Debbie spent weeks perfecting edible mannequins and clothes, made from rice paper, and edible wallpaper to look like the iconic Dolce & Gabbana Puerto Banus store in Spain.
The diamonds were placed between the Christmas lights on the exterior of the gingerbread store above the Dolce & Gabbana sign.
Debbie said: ‘It is always rewarding when you deliver a creation but this one had high stakes as it was a proposal confection. I don’t think I have ever been so nervous.

Inside the house are stunning outfits designed to emulate the designer brand and are intricately patterned
‘Normally I worry about the transit of the sugar creations but this time I was thinking I hope she says yes.
‘A confection with massive responsibility, I was delighted when they notified me she said yes.’
The couple are now designing a ring and matching earrings together using the diamonds, and plan to have an engagement party on New Year’s Eve to reveal the ring.
