After countless hours of painstaking construction, craftsmen brought their homes to be judged, and a victor was named, the finest home built in South Lake Tahoe, out of gingerbread.
The 2nd Annual Lake Tahoe Gingerbread House Competition drew talented adult and youth bakers from across the region.
The event is part of the 5th Annual Festival of Winter Lights.
After judging by a panel of experts and votes from the public, the following winners were crowned.
Adult Division Winners
- 1st Place: Holiday Embers by Grace Harding & Family
- 2nd Place: Christmas at the Boathouse by Irene Sue, Andrew Erwin, Gage Robins, & Lincoln Erwin

Youth Division Winner
- Old St. Nick Had a Farm G-I-N-G-E-R by the Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe Middle Schoolers
All competition entries are now featured as part of the Lake Tahoe Gingerbread House Crawl, where they are displayed at participating local businesses throughout South Lake Tahoe.
The Gingerbread House Crawl runs through January 1.
