2010 Gingerbread House Contest Winners

Here at This Old House, we're big fans of DIY builders. But little did we know that the tools of the trade—band saws, wood rasps, belt sanders, Dremels—could be used to build dessert.

The third annual TOH Gingerbread House contest boasted some of the most impressive masterpieces we've seen to date. Here, we show you the top 25 creations, counting down to the $500 Grand Prize winner. Hopefully they'll inspire you to create an edible abode of your own this season. Happy holidays!
