Did anyone catch this? Some amazing entries. I was a bit taken aback by the youth winner. This little girl couldn't have been older than 3 or 4 and clearly didn't make her winning gingerbread house. It floored me. I will look for links to the pics of the event.

I didn't see the whole thing but I really felt for that poor lady whose stuff got broken during her flight icon_sad.gif The husband and wife that made them together were so cute! To think, many of those took 200 hours icon_eek.gif !

That was an awesome show! Gingerbread houses have sure come a long way over the past few years.

I was ticked about the 3 year old who won, too. That was grossly unfair, IMO.

I was amazed seeing the work that went into these gingerbread houses, if you can even call them that - they were more like mansions or doll houses. 200 + hours - Looked like a lot of fun.

I thought it was disappointing also for the child category when you know an adult did most of the decorating.

Those gingerbread houses are always amazing. I was happy for the grand prize winner. I saw last year's episode and I think she only came into 1st or 2nd place so I was happy for her to win this year.
