Debbie Wingham, 41, from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, made the giant gingerbread creation using 15kg of flour and 17kg of sugar.

The designer and food artist spent two weeks creating the house, which featured edible ‘designer’ clothes made from rice paper with intricate patterns.

To top it all off, the house was used to display a loose pink diamond, worth £3.1 million, and three individual pink diamonds worth £1 million each – and the creation was used for a proposal .

The newly engaged couple will use the diamonds to create their own ring and matching jewelry.

Debbie said: ‘I have created sugar artwork for many clients, from royals to celebrities and for occasions from bar mitzvahs to weddings and major corporate brand launches, but this was my first ready-to-wear proposal.

‘I am happy that my client is now entering the new year with a fiancée.’

Debbie makes lifelike cakes and has made cakes for celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Ru Paul.

This time she was assigned to make a gingerbread house as part of a proposal.

The mother of three used gingerbread cookies for the structure of the house and icing sugar, chocolate, sprinkles and fondant for the decorations.

The house is just under a meter high and 75cm wide and has a designer Dolce & Gabbana theme as it is the customers’ favorite store.

Debbie spent weeks perfecting edible mannequins and clothing, made from rice paper and edible wallpaper, to look like the iconic Dolce & Gabbana Puerto Banus store in Spain.

The diamonds were placed among the Christmas lights on the outside of the gingerbread store, above the Dolce & Gabbana sign.

Debbie said: ‘It’s always satisfying when you deliver a creation, but this one was high stakes because it was a pre-made piece. I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous.

‘Normally I worry about the throughput of the sugar creations, but this time I thought: I hope she says yes.

‘A delicacy with an enormous responsibility. I was thrilled when they let me know she said yes.”

The couple are now designing a ring and matching earrings together with the diamonds, and plan to have an engagement party on New Year’s Eve to unveil the ring.
