For the last three years,
Le Parker Meridien Hotel New York has hosted
the Gingerbread Extravaganza of the holiday. A gingerbread
what? Same question I asked myself... I knew Americans were a competitive bunch, but I never knew their competitive spirit would go as far as Gingerbread Houses. Apparently so...
Seven New York bakeries/restaurants (originally 8, but one had to drop out for mysterious reasons) currently have their gingerbread creations on show in the lobby of Le Parker Meridien New York, all competing for the winning slot of gingerbread glory. Voters (you, the general public) can cast your votes by donating $1 per vote to
City Harvest feeding New York City's men, women, and children in need of food. With each vote you have a chance to win a vacation stay at
Le Parker Meridien Palm Springs. The Gingerbread Extravaganza is showing now until
January 6th 2012.
And I thought
I made fancy gingerbread houses...
Thanks so much for all the wonderful photos of this year's gingerbread competition! I haven't had a chance to see the exhibit as yet, but I definitely will as I visited the last two years and blogged about them.
