Hi Everyone!  Make sure to enter the 2022 GBD Online Holiday Gingerbread-Smackdown contest!  Entries can be submitted through Christmas eve, and online voting is 12/25 through 12/31. 

My apologies for not getting a list of contests for 2022.  My personal this past few months has been extremely busy.    I promise to put together a list for next year, for 2023. 

Hello, this is my first time using this recipe, I usually make gingerbread for eating. but I am looking to make one that is just for construction. I tried making this recipe 2 times and both times they came out supper dry that it does not even form a ball. At first i thought maybe I added my heated ingredients to early to my flour so it cooked the flour but the second time i waited longer and it was still supper stuff, I had to add water. I have not baked it yet so i am not sure if the water will do anything. the only other thing that I think i am doing wrong is probably boiling it to long so the sugars are getting to thick and can not absorb all the flour any tips to help me. I am not to sure what i am doing wrong. thank you for the help

I have. I just submitted photo's for the contest. Tammy

I have recently moved to Georgia and haven't been able to find any contests.  I went to the Gingerbread by Design page, but their contests page is blank. Is anyone else aware of lists of contests?

Good on you!  I'd love to be doing a contest, but we've moved to Georgia and I haven't found any contests.

I am so excited about the excitement of gingerbread projects this year!  My daughter and I will be entering a contest for the 2nd year!  Have YOU gotten started with your gingerbread projects this year for 2022?

I think this recipe might be missing something. Doesn't it need to include sugar somewhere as well?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone can help/have any tips on how to turn my actual home into a template so I can make and decorate a gingerbread version of it.

Thank you so much! I ended up redoing all of it. But I appreciate the suggestions!
