That wonderful charity Habitat for Humanity (Toronto) is auctioning off six celebrity-made gingerbread houses online and also holding a Gingerbread House Build at the Delta Chelsea Hotel (33 Gerrard West) this Saturday and Sunday, December 5 and 6. There are still a few spots open for the gingerbread build; register online if you're interested.
As for the designer houses, they're highly covetable. Audra Brown of Citytv has designed a fully-frosted Polar Ice Palace (pictured above). There's a heartwarming Habitat home build featuring Rudolph and his friends by Kristen Peres of Cake or Death (pictured above). International architects HOK have designed an Olympic Village featuring Vancouver 2010 mascots Sumi, Quatchi, and Miga. Kimberley Seldon Design Group has created an intricately ornate Christmas Cottage. Bonnie Gordon Cakes has contributed an unbelievable edible ski chalet, while the always lovable Jamie Kennedy has built a replica of the Francy Barns at Riverdale Farms, complete with farm animals, hay bales and a cute pretzel fence (pictured above).
At the time of posting, the bidding was ranging from $45 to $110. The auction ends on December 10, so there's still almost a week to bid. The homes are displayed in the lobby of the Delta Chelsea to help you make up your mind before you bid for a house online. By the way, if you have about $100 to spare, you could make yourself a two-time holiday hero by winning one of the bids and donating the house to a kids' charity, a shelter or a community centre.
