Upper Canada Village’s First Annual Canadian Gingerbread House Championship

Well I am definitely the worst blogger I know.
It has been a whole year since I posted anything. My bad!!
This year I promise to try and post at least once a month.
I have a few things I want to catch up on first.
So I am going to start with ….you guessed it Gingerbread houses again!

These are my daughter’s and mine, 2009 entries into Upper Canada Village’s First Annual Canadian Gingerbread House Championship http://www.uppercanadavillage.com/night.htm



My daughter Carli took 1st place in her division (5 to 11 year olds) with this garden cottage. But I’m not surprised, she is going to rival me one day in the cake world for sure!



This was my entry, the upright piano. I did not place at all. Big disappointment as this took 16 hours to build. All corners were mitered to fit perfectly. The sizing was to scale. The wood grain effect was spectacular. Oh well there is always next year!!!
