Friday the 11th of December the annual Polish World Championship of Gingerbread House Making(PWCGHM) was hosted at the Ytterlands flat in Poznan, Poland. Selected people from all over the world came to enter the contest. We had the famous Judith from Austria, the creative artist Piotrek from Poland, Roberto the latinobaker, the notorious Lithuanians Ausra and Ina, Bruno the Italian pastaexpert, the young but very experienced Amy from England, Eirik the Norwegian Islander, and Stephanie and Coralanne representing the USA.
Pastor Richard Nungesser aka Cookiepastor, was our honored judge of the evening. The group was divided into three teams; team Ginger, team Bread and team House, and the artists combined their talents to design, cut, bake, glue and decorate their houses.

| 3 houses, only one could be the winner. |
 |
| it was hard, but at the end team House won, as you can tell from Roberto presenting the mighty Santa trophy. |
 |
| Ina had been training for this event all year, so it was sweet to finally get her handz on the prize.. |
 |
| But no one loves Santa more than Bruno. |
So at the end Team House won the victory in a convincing manner, but will they be able to keep regain it next year??
Haha!! Great post! Props to Amy, who, sadly, could not attend the award ceremony. She was, nevertheless, an integral part of the Team House victory! :D
