The gingerbread house is the final project for eight students who are part of the restaurant and catering program.
“The gingerbread house was probably the biggest project I have ever worked on,” said Carlee Moore, an MGCCC sophomore. “When you go out and see the really nice hotels and things they can pull off, for us to be able to do that was very rewarding in a professional sense.”
The house took the students approximately one month to design, bake, and build.
