What better way to get inspired than to see lots of photos from gingerbread contests? Look at photos others have sent in or submit your own. We'd LOVE to see your favorite entries in your local gingerbread decorating contest! Of course, it doesn't have to be local either. If you traveled far to see a gingerbread house contest, tell us about it. Was it worth the trip?
Wherever the gingerbread competition was, help us visit it vicariously through you by giving us lots of details. Did you come home and build your own gingerbread house? Did the judges pick your favorites? Did the room smell yummy? How many contest entries were there? Will you go back again next year?
