Gingerbread Showcase... the Holidays Continue

We are still in the Holiday Season mode around here... The Captain is thoroughly enjoying the World Junior IIHF Hockey Tournament from Ufa, Russia, on TV. I am just thrilled they are televising the Canadian games at a decent hour of the day and I am not waking up to hockey on TV at 3 or 4 in the morning!  Thank You TSN from wives across Canada!

A few days ago we walked to the Inner Harbour and view the Gingerbread Showcase, currently on display at the Inn at Laurel Point.  It is a fund raiser for Habitat For Humanity.  It was fun to see the hotel decked out in some very different sorts of Christmas Decorations and revert to childhood as we oohed and aahed over the gingerbread creations... It was delightful.  And it is so fun to see all the different edibles used to create these amazing sculptures.

Here is a small sampling...

Have you ever made a gingerbread house?

  1. It's times like these that I wish I was still in Baltimore so I could go to things like this! It looks really fun :)

  2. Great looking gingerbreads. My daughter is the expert in our family for making houses not me. My hubby has been getting up at 4 am here to get in his hockey fix!
