A gingerbread version of Austin’s historic Paramount Theatre won last night’s contest at Omni Barton Creek Resort and Spa for the best of the traditional holiday concoctions/models, the Austin American-Stateman’s Addie Broyles reported Friday.

Broyles added that the Blue Note Bakery created the winner of the contest, now in its ninth year, and that entrants included renditions of the Alamo, the Congress Avenue bridge, and “several ranch scenes.” The baker nabbed $1,000 for its winning entry.

Here are some other entrants from this and past years:
