This year everybody finished. This year we had no collapses or dropouts.
The key to everybody making it to the finish line was pre-assembled houses.
Hear me out, we have been doing a gingerbread contest for many years now with my family and inevitably someone will dropout and or have a collapse.
This year was different, and all six houses reached it to the judging table!
The other great thing, switching to pre-fabricated ginger bread houses allowed everybody to focus on their decorating.
Even with premade gingerbread houses, each house felt unique
Here is the brand we used, we picked it up at our local Walmart for about $9.
The kit comes with some decorations but I definitely recommend picking some more goodies to decorate your house.
