When I visited the Ohio Amish Christmas Cookie Tour of Inns last December, some of the hotels and inns had gingerbread houses on display. The visitors could vote for their favourite gingerbread house at the end of their tour. I am not sure who won and the winner has not been announced anywhere online.
The following photos show some of the gingerbread houses on display, including one made of dried fruit, a barn one, and one inspired by the animated film 'Up'. I felt that all of them were creative in their own way, but I voted for the Christmasy green, white, and red one 'N & D Faculty Inn'.
Two of the gingerbread houses were completed by professionals over several months, and I liked this mock-Tudor timber-framed house with chocolate poptart roof tiles. In the above photograph, the last picture shows the second professional gingerbread house, and part of it is constructed from candycane sticks and hard boiled sweets.
Hannah's House had a small selection of gingerbread houses on display, but these were not a part of the competition.
