Gingerbread House Information

Is there a fee for entering a house?

No.

Will my house be judged?

No.

What are the guidelines for creating my house?

We ask that your creation be made mainly out of edible materials, but that you do not use gelatin, as it can create mold. Be sure to mount your house on a sturdy base that does not excessively exceed the footprint of your creation.

Please note late submissions after December 6 will not be accepted without prior approval.

What do I do when I drop off my house?

We will ask you to fill out another very short form so each house can be properly identified. We will want to know the names of bakers, if you are connected to a business, if you have a name for your house and whether or not you will be picking it up after the Extravaganza.

May I pick up my house after the Extravaganza?

Yes! You may pick up your house at the end of the Extravaganza OR have it be part of a silent auction for a lucky winner to take home. Indicate your preference on the submission form and/or when your drop off your house.
