Legendary Tampa bakery Alessi has announced the return of its beloved traditional gingerbread house guessing contest. Guests can marvel at a massive gingerbread house while participating in two exciting challenges that engage the mind, imagination, and love for the holidays. It’s truly a feast for the eyes, mind, and stomach—we appreciate you, Alessi!
Candy Guess: Can you guess how many pieces of candy decorate the gingerbread house? The closest guess wins a $200 gift card.
Time to Build Guess: Estimate the hours and minutes it took to construct this edible masterpiece for a chance to win a $100 gift card.
The competition runs until December 23, with the winners announced that same afternoon.
