Gingerbread Contest

When we were at the Grove Park Inn we went around looking at all of the gingerbread houses that had been entered in their Gingerbread contest. They had youth, teen, and adult divisions. Check out the slide show to see some of the cool gingerbread "houses". My favorites were Noah's Ark, the Russian nesting dolls (Grand Prize winner) and the Mineral Spring Spa with Santa and the reindeer relaxing in robes, face masks, and cucumber slices on the eyes. They were all pretty cool though!



As the last part of this post on our trip, I just have to mention the delicious bakery that we visited called "The Sisters McMullen".



They had all kinds of delicious sweets.



Jaren and I split a cream cheese swirl brownie and the cream cheese chocolate ganache cupcake. Both were delicious but the cupcake was my favorite.



We just needed some milk!



It was a fun trip and I would love to go back! Especially if I was taking out-of-town visitors with me! :)

I bet that cupckae had nothing on your stuff. My birthday is on Saturday...do you know what I would give for that cake you made me a couple of years ago? I dont think you understand how much I loved that cake. The perfect combination od richness and sweetness. I hope you are doing well. If you find yourself in Indiana, come by! (Or even Chicago, I would drive to you!)
