Participating Bakers - Team Gingerbread!

 

Photo Credit: Simply Recipes.com

This year's bakers are made up of volunteers, employees and paid professionals.  Even the amateur bakers' gingerbread houses are show stopping gorgeous and can rival the pros, just like watching an episode of the Great British Bake-off. So, with that we have a friendly competition going on between the bakers, and that is who has the best gingerbread house voted by you! 

During the 2 week parade period, you may vote for each of your favorites once per day per visit. Some locations will be giving out prizes when you vote so that's incentive to go vote.

We also have a friendly competition for some other categories as well voted by a panel of judges. Here are the other categories:

  1. Best Constructed
  2. Most Colorful
  3. Most Cheerful
  4. Most Festive
  5. Most Creative
  6. Most Delicious Looking
  7. Most Humorous
  8. Most Traditional Looking
  9. Cutest
  10. Best Themed
  11. Most Original
  12. The Jolliest
  13. Extraordinary Effort
  14. Most Precision/Perfection

Graduation: 4 years of Gingerbread Parade

Image
  For the last four years I have organized the St George Gingerbread House Parade. And this year, I declare that I have graduated from it. Yippee! I will from here on out be supporting the Jubilee of Trees.  This year I plan to make one Christmas Wreath and one Gingerbread House for charity to raise funds for St George Regional Hospital. I totally get it that a lot of people think that the hospital doesn't need our charity because they got money and we lowly people don't. But, let's try to reason why it's good for the community. Because of the philanthropy of the community, it benefits us. The hospital can expand and bring needed services to the area keeping the costs down for us. You can read more about that here: Foundation/Jubilee of Trees. So, what I am doing is shutting down the nonprofit status of St George Gingerbread House Parade and any remaining funds in the business account will be distributed to a nonprofit in the area as per the rules of the Articles of Inc...
