Heralded as one of the "sweetest events" of the holiday season, our annual Gingerbread House Brunch is scheduled for Friday, December 9 from 9:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. at a local country club. More than two dozen whimsical gingerbread houses created by local professional and non-professional pastry chefs will be on display, judged for awards and available for purchase through a silent auction, along with many other unusual holiday decor and gift items. The Brunch, emceed by Fox News celebrity Monica Gayle, will offer gourmet fare.
This annual event has been so well received that a "Family Preview Evening" for parents and their children will precede it on Thurday, December 8, from 5:00 - 8:00 p.m. This family event includes a dinner buffet with Mr. and Mrs. Claus, plus crafts, games and an opportunity for budding chefs to decorate a gingerbread creation of their own.
Funds raised at the Brunch and Family Event will help the Friends of Preservation Bloomfield continue the restoration of the historic Barton Farmhouse located at the Charles L. Bowers School Farm in Bloomfield Hills.
