Imagine a place where the scent of gingerbread hangs so heavily in the air you struggle to stay standing.
A place where there is gingerbread in endless shapes and sizes as far as the eye can see.
A technicolor world of candy and frosting and supersized gingerbread houses!
Are you there yet??
If you're at Ginger Betty's you are!
Perhaps there's a bit of hyperbole there, but it was my first trip to a gingerbread bakery and frankly, I was overwhelmed. As were my companions, Ebby, Cuyler and Bubbe. So much sugary goodness, so much sensory overload.
We took in the sights and smells, marveled at the sheer number of gingerbread creations, and Cuyler even had his picture taken with Santa. We did manage to leave with two gingerbread treats--a large snowflake for Ebby and a giant gingerbread oval with 2 snowmen for Cuyler (he was supposed to share it with Will).
At $15 it certainly wasn't the best deal of the holiday season, but totally worth it.
We'll definitley have to be returning for Valentine's Day...
