Victoria’s Inn at Laurel Point unveils Great Gingerbread Showcase
Victoria, BC waterfront hotel livens up Christmas for travellers with gingerbread display
Things will be a bit spicier at Victoria’s Inn at Laurel Point from now through Jan. 2, 2012 with the Great Gingerbread Showcase.
“Anyone looking for things to do in Victoria, BC should come on down to the Inn at Laurel Point.” said Ian Powell, general manager of Inn at Laurel Point. “From stained-glass candy windows to marzipan awnings, year after year I’m blown away by the amateur and professional culinary talent that thrives in our city.”
Members of the public can drop by Inn at Laurel Point to check out this year’s gingerbread showcase daily from now until Jan. 2, 2011, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The annual festive Christmas event in Victoria, BC sees local bakers going head-to-head in creating (using 100 per cent edible ingredients) the city’s most elaborate gingerbread houses – all in the name of raising funds for Habitat for Humanity Victoria and, of course, earning bragging rights. This year’s event has a record 25 entries on display throughout the Victoria, BC hotel.
Last year’s Great Gingerbread Showcase raised nearly $5,000 for Habitat for Humanity Victoria – all funds went towards building new homes for low-income families living in the Victoria region.
