The Museum of the City of New York invites bakers from across the five boroughs to create gingerbread displays revolving around the theme of “Iconic New York”—creating distinctive buildings, places, or things that represent their neighborhood, community, or borough.

A panel of prominent New York City-based bakers, curators, and restaurant owners awards prizes in a variety of categories, and visitors are invited to help select the final award by voting for the “People’s Choice.”

Don't miss Community Day on Saturday, December 6 at 1pm—a family day featuring hands-on gingerbread cookie decorating, photo-ops with Santa Claus, and more.
