The real estate market might not be so hot elsewhere, but the mini-mansions at The Children's Museum's annual Gingerbread Bash are going to go like hotcakes. 

The best chefs around town are creating edible masterpieces to be on display and up for auction as part of this year's event. A visit by Santa, crafts for the kiddies - including supplies to make their own gingerbread houses - and a Gum Drop scavenger hunt are also scheduled.
