A tradition at College of the Ozarks at Point Lookout, Missouri continues this holiday season along with the fruitcake the school is known for.
A team of students at the school’s Keeter Center has created a gingerbread house modeled after Williams Memorial Chapel on campus.
Ingredients for the six-foot-long gingerbread structure included 200 pounds of flour, 25 pounds of butter, 50 pounds of powdered sugar, 64 pounds of brown sugar and two pounds of cinnamon.
Executive chef Robert Stricklin and pastry chef Daniel Holmes oversaw the team of kitchen students during the project.
C of O has a tradition of building a gingerbread piece for the holiday season.
You can view the gingerbread chapel at The Keeter Center. Guests may also visit C of O’s student industries, including the Stained Glass & Candle Shop and Edwards Mill where they can purchase student-made items like stained-glass, fruit spreads, baskets, candles and fruitcake. You can also order items online at store.cofo.edu.
