The Museum of the City of New York is inviting top bakeries and amateur bakers from across the city to enter Gingerbread NYC: The Great Borough Bake-Off —our second year holiday celebration of the communities in each of the five boroughs. Select bakers created a gingerbread display to represent their respective neighborhoods, inspired by the theme “Iconic New York.” A cohort of prominent New York City-based bakers, curators, and restaurant owners judged the final designs. Judges will name an overall winner and other participating bakers will be awarded prizes in a variety of categories.
Submissions are still open for 2023!
