Winners received gift certificates to The Candy Factory as well as ribbons. This year all of the houses were sold to the highest bidder in a silent auction. All entry fees and auction proceeds went to Crisis Ministry. The contest is run each year during the holiday season to benefit a local charity and is open to all. Look for information on the 2007 contest on our web site (www.sweettoothgifts.com) in October. It's not too early to start thinking about your own sweet creation!
