Pueblo Gingerbread House Contest submission includes a mini Pueblo building structure in a decorated bowl. Note: The submission is entirely edible.
The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center’s 8th Annual Gingerbread House Contest is its most successful to date, with more than 70 submissions by adults and children.
The contest was judged last week by prominent Pueblo artists and elders, as well as leaders from the Albuquerque community. Winners in both Adult and Children’s categories will be announced on December 14, with a combined $2,500 in prizes to be awarded.
Though the formal and initial voting process is complete, the public is welcome to visit the East Lobby of the IPCC, 2401 12th Street NW, Albuquerque and vote for their People’s Choice Award favorites through January 3. The People’s Choice Award is sponsored by Isleta Resort and Casino. Winners will be announced on January 5.

Gorgeous
It’s such fun t try and identify the sweets used to make the different components.
The brick house and the stack of logs are nifty. The rough texture of the wall gives it “edge”.
The Gingerbread man takes stock of his surroundings
He screams
Is the house made of man
or is he made of house?
I think the gingerbread bowl house is my favorite thing, not just because it’s different from the other submissions but also because how freaking hard painting has on gingerbread got to be? But the Pueblo sky village from last year is also amazing. And look at the sugar-frosted piped icing evergreens on 2015’s winner! And the hand painted fondant(?) rug in the last photo!
Okay they are all my favorite. Edible art, yay!
painting has on gingerbread got to be = has painting on gingerbread got to be
Typos strikes again.
O, beautiful edible art!!!
dammit last year i made a chimney from those exact candies, but mine looked like garbage. skillz count.
Is… is the door made out of Pez?
