Gingerbread house part 2

So the house is complete and was turned in. Now its on display and up for voting for "people's choice". I entered the "Professional" category hoping I could advertise my business, but right now no name is on the display. I went to go look at it and a small part is already broken, but its just the fence, so I'm not too worried.

The reception is on December 14. You can go to the Grand Geneva Resort in Lake Geneva, WI and view the houses. Remember to vote for me!

Gingerbread house part 1

So I decided to enter a contest for building a gingerbread house. I've never done this before, well on 2 levels, never entered a food competition nor built a gingerbread house. So, why not? I'm a pretty good pastry chef, how hard can this be?



I met a woman at a friend's birthday party who told me about the competition and how it would be great marketing for my personal chef business. I found this all out Sunday night, researched recipes and plans on Monday and baked the house on Monday night. Tuesday was assembly and starting to decorate. I am landscaping right now...

You can find photos here, and on my Facebook page, RUNNING GOURMET.

Part 2 to come....stay tuned!
