14. GingerbreadNYC at MCNY

Gingerbread Met Cloisters

For a second year, the Museum of the City of New York will host Gingerbread NYC: The Great Borough Bake-Off. This fan-favorite gingerbread competition brings together the joy of holiday sweets and the celebration of neighborhoods in the five boroughs. The museum invites professionals and hobby bakers alike to create a display based on the neighborhoods they call home, inspired by the theme “Iconic New York.” This competition is a serious event, with judges such as Bobbie Lloyd, the CEO of Magnolia Bakery, or Jonah Nigh, a semi-finalist on NBC’s Baking It. The gingerbread houses will be on view to the public from November 10th through January 15th.
