Discovery Science Center Gingerbread Competition

Discovery Science Center is seeking out delectable creativity from families, children, adults, businesses and organizations in their annual 2009 Gingerbread Contest! If you like sweets and adventure, try your hand at creating a delicious masterpiece out of gingerbread, icing and other edibles.

Tiny Oranges is going to take a stab at it this year. Wish me luck! It will be the first gingerbread house I have made since I was about 8 years old. I will just have to keep a close eye out for a little mouse named Emma when my back is turned. Don’t you remember just how irresistible a gingerbread house looked when you were little? I wanted to live in one!

Here are the details on this delicious competition!
