Joyful gingerbreads
Sweet treat

TCC Culinary Arts students and instructors spread holiday cheer by creating this year's gingerbread wonderland, a whimsical, colorful tribute to the season. The two-dozen edible houses feature sugared walkways, frosting trees and candy trimmings.

For the past several years, TCC baking classes have donated their delicious creations to raise funds for Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters (CHKD). The hospital auctions off the hand-crafted masterpieces, which typically bring from $25 to $100 per gingerbread house.

The Culinary Arts program, accredited by the American Culinary Association, is housed on the Norfolk Campus, with professional grade kitchens and serving areas.
