Winning Designs at 25th National Gingerbread House Competition

[@marilynbouziane5530]

I actually loved the blue one.

[@kimberlyrobinson3992]

The blue one was GORGEOUS.

[@whitealliance9540]

How did they not win over a stack of books? That light blue house is why i clicked

[@Katya-zj7ni]

White Alliance I’d love to live in it 😂

[@whitealliance9540]

@@Katya-zj7ni lol i wanna pour hot tea over it and get myself a big bowl! This would look so good as a cake getting sliced or with kids breaking it apart and eating it! I would love to see a vid like that.

[@jolie8276]

@@whitealliance9540 , exactly what I was thinking, the one with the dogs was also breathtaking though

[@Krissy_888]

I could never choose a winner, these were all so impressive!!

[@eetukalapudas9118]

I would love see also the gingerbread. Some of those builds just doesn't feel like gingerbread creations when all you can see is some kind of sugar coating. They look fantastic tho :)

[@chubchub1307]

It says they only needed to be 75% gingerbread but yeah i like the "classic gingerbread look" styles

[@chantalhenderson6994]

WOW, the winner deserved to win. A history story to go along with the eating. Loved all of them.

this is BEYOND amazing!!

[@marymccloskey9450]

Absolutely amazing art

Whoa! Jennifer Martin is BREATHTAKING!

[@tinabevis9433]

Just beautiful!!! The craftsmanship is amazing.

[@firebendervrc5796]

They should separate the ginger bread by ages group! So like would be kids, amateur and professional, and i thing would be fair have 3 winner each group! And fair as well!

[@NoboPenguin]

They do!

[@kjmg245]

They do ..... its kids 5-8 then youth 9- 12 then teen 13 -17 and adults 18 and up

[@whitealliance9540]

Winnet take all it doesnt matter. A kid can make a taj mahal ginger bread house if they wanted to. FIERCE COMPETITION ONLY. no punks

[@traczebabe]

How fun! I would love to watch someone work on doing these. To see how they come to life. These guys best Food Network Gingerbread houses.

[@lindsaydeclute714]

That it truly amazing! Beautiful! And the winners was awesome! I ❤️ it!

[@moviepotter]

Wow!!! Master pieces. What talent

[@Pwnagotchi-0]

2:00 oh hell yea. Charles dickens is the first place winner! These all look amazing not just from an artist’s standpoint but also from a foodie’s standpoint. Great work!

[@angelahicks1946]

👏👏👏 bravo to all!!!

[@rav_666_]

Wow these are so cool! And I'm over here not being able to make cookies...

[@PureWhiteLilly]

Cripes! I lived there for almost a year and didn't know about the competition being held there.

[@PamelaTaylor]

PureWhiteLilly awh

[@laurensouthgate2458]

Wow wish I could do that detail is just amazing.

[@litoboy5]

STUNNING !!!

[@whitealliance9540]

So do they break them and eat them at the end to make sure its edible? Im calling BS on some of that stuff being edible.

[@nikijohnson3145]

They drill into them and take samples to check the inner parts for structural supports that shouldn’t be there. (I saw another video of this same competition that showed them drilling.)

[@PamelaTaylor]

BEAUTIFUL

[@subliminalphish]

Wow. I would love to have the ability to do something like this. It would take an assload of mobey and more than one person! So cool.

[@sarahyan8973]

"some of these took over 500 hours to build" me: lol imagine a kid hyped up from all the sugar he ate running around and knocking the things over

[@actuallyadog_]

The winner wasn’t even a house. And it didn’t look anywhere near as polished as the one from the thumbnail. Rip

[@jasninja3384]

[@terrybuyce9923]

if you need a saw and sander to build a gingerbread house you might as well use plywood.

[@sabreena1khalick]

Go to the old city of Sanaa, you will see the real gingerbread houses. Hundreds of years old.

[@dingus_doofus]

Most of these are entirely mising the point of gingerbread houses. They're just regular miniature models done with edible materials. Masterfully crafted, but not fun at all. Competition isn't always good...

[@jainapatel6607]

Congratulations

[@katb2080]

They don't look like gingerbread houses. :(

[@arianastan6574]

They're made out of gingerbread

[@justinwang4386]

You’re right. They’re more like gingerbread mansions.

[@joyceengland3947]

Yes, Debby Downer, they are and they are wonderful!

[@bestsimplejourney7124]

I would love to do this

[@ShanaCali]

I found you can get the $40.00 a month for food network on streaming live tv Hulu

[@gone5815]

Good now do that to my life, its a mess

[@901cutie2]

So if it took 55 hundred hours....do it make it uneatable....

[@haydenspurling5715]

Stinkyyy

[@ranchobrien6235]

Yeah I make my two days later me and the Ants started eating on it

[@carmelcapicorn8452]

Made of out Gingersnaps?🏠 Cookie Monster would go into a coma. 🍪🏥

[@PerfumePretty]

I saw at least 3 wich was much better than the winner! Weird! 😐

[@jonasobiono72]

pagkain sa nanganak

[@KlaraL-_-]

Wouldn´t call these gingerbread houses. Sure, gingerbread is involved, but it´s supposed to be the house the witch lives in!!!

[@ТамараМариненко-я2о]

И негра сюда вставили , на хрена это лицемерие !?

[@gurvinderanttal3621]

hahahahahah

[@PamelaTaylor]

Gurvinder Anttal it so lovely

[@peggybuetow1026]

Wow, where is the diversity?

[@pogpurin]

What do you mean? Its not like they chose who goes to the contedt and who doesn't, its not like a scripted play where they choose ethnicity of the roles, its literally just random people of any colour making gingerbread houses

[@katb2080]

There is diversity! The people are of different ages and from different parts of the country!

[@persebra]

This is a troll, just trying to be snarky. dont take it seriously, folks.

[@portgasdann3389]

@@persebra there are so many retards on the internet that you won't know anymore who's serious or not.

[@Zipperskull_]

There were look like TONS of middle age white ladies that were in the competition.
