The Erie Canal Museum is offering some sweet real estate. There are over 30 home made gingerbread houses on display at the Museum for the 24th Annual Gingerbread gallery. The museum transforms the gallery into an 1800's street scene with the gingerbread houses in storefront windows.
In order to participate, bakers must create the houses with edible food. The museum hosts two competitions, the People's Choice Award where visitors can vote on their favorite house and a confectionary competition. With a $25 entry fee, competitors can enter the confectionary contest and have the chance to win $150-500 prize money. Judges critique the houses on originality and creativity and vote by the first week of December.
Expect to see the winners announced on the Erie Canal Museum's website The gingerbread gallery ends January 3rd and houses will then be donated to local libraries or nursing homes.
