SANTA ANA, CALIF. – Discovery Science Center asks, “How cute is this Gingerbread village?” Gingerbread creations for DSC Annual Science of Gingerbread Competition can be dropped off until deadline in an exciting, hands-on gingerbread event that is “Science in Every Bite!” Explore gingerbread from baking to building it. Inside the kitchen, much more is going on than pouring and mixing – it is science at work! How many gumdrops can a frosted cookie hold? Why do some recipes call for baking powder instead of baking soda? Discovery Science Center’s Science of Gingerbread exhibition, features science activities, decorating demonstrations and award-winning gingerbread houses on display. Who knew science could be so tasty? Each year the center offers a free gingerbread contest & competition. Winning houses go on display for approx. one month. Participants are usually invited to a Gingerbread Holiday Kick-Off Party in early December.
