If you've been inspired by all of our gingerbread action, then why don't you get cooking and create something too?! There's still time to enter our gingerbread house challenge. Read below to find out how.
I hereby challenge you to create your very own gingerbread house. You could make it with homemade gingerbread, or store-bought; you could even use graham crackers or a kit! So use your imagination, set aside an afternoon and get decorating!
Here's how to get your submission included in our roundup:
- On TeamSugar, or on your own blog or photostream elsewhere, upload photos of your gingerbread house creation (be sure to include a link to this post).
- Notify me via email (yumsugar@gmail.com) or PM by Tuesday, Dec. 18 with the following information:
- Name you want me to use & city (so I can give credit)
- Your blog name or TeamSugar name
- Link to your post
- A photo of your gingerbread house - preferably 200px wide
I can't wait to see what you guys come up with! The full "neighborhood" roundup will be posted on Dec. 21.

It's on!!
1Home baked only?
2You could make a kit one too, it's all about the creativity and decorating!
3SCORE! I just so happen to be making gingerbread houses for my food blog on the 15th of December! I'm definitely entering this! yay!
4I saw a kit a Trader Joe's and was thinking, this may be the year to start this since my daughter is now 3. She'll probably get a kick out of it. I'll see what we come up with and if the picture is worth sending.
Great challenge!
5Awesome! I made one from scratch back in high school, when they still had cooking/baking classes (and that was only, holy crap 10 years ago!
) If I have the time I wouldn't mind constructing one 
6don't worry about if the "picture is worth sending" — they're all worth sending!
7I can't wait for this. My mother taught me well!
8I am going to make a gingerbread mansion!!
9i haven't made a gingerbread house in SO long. the thing i liked best was eating as i created. one year, my mom and i used a kit. maybe i'll convince my bf to make one with me this year.
10It's on YumSugar!
11I think a gingerbread kit is a great gift for the couple who does everything together.
12I find the kits taste stale. I like everything from scratch, well worth time.
13I designed my "floor plan" (ha) the other day!
14I've started making a gingerbread house every year since I started university and I think I might try a kit this year. My homemade gingerbread usually ends up getting eaten too fast.
15I think this would be fun.
16Oh, count me in!!
Its on!
17Any specific rules we have to follow?
18Doesn't look like it. best of luck.
19Oh I should totally do this!!
20I wish I had the talent to do this!
21go for it!
22I'm already lost with the submission directions. Aaack! But I'll figure it out.
23I am so in, I have designed a template and am enlisting my little "sugar cubes" to help!
24Nope, no rules, just have fun! Anything goes!
25These are so cute! I wish that I was this creative!
26I'm way excited for this!
27Any tips on getting the icing hand steady? I'm shivering in our northern winter.
28This sounds fun, I'm in!
29thats a nice gingerbread house!
30Working on it...
31I'm going to try to do this...I'm always up for a challenge!... That is... as long as I can get my other holiday baking done too...
32Do they have to be Christmas themed?
33I have some great nspiration from the food network Haunted House gingerbread challenge.
34My mom is the best...
35Candy candy candy!
36I was hoping sugar would have a gingerbread challenge! I've already got my patterns ready!
37It's on like Donkey Kong!!!!
38I suck at Gingerbread Houses! You won't be seeing an entry from me!
39This is soooo not something I'm interested in doing, but I can't wait to see photos of everyone's creations!
