In 2022, Gingerbread Mania was focused on architecture. At the exhibition, you could see the gingerbread-built Kõpu lighthouse, the ruins of the Pirita monastery, the 6th district of Mustamäe, and the Eiffel Tower. In addition, the exhibition did not lack fantasy architecture, such as a giant wishing wall, Howl's moving fortress and a crane that lifts the pyramids. Across the street, the newly opened President Päts monument was in dialogue with architect Leonhard Lapin's gingerbread head. The authors of the exhibition were traditionally Estonian artists, ceramicists, designers and, of course, architects. It took 300 kg of gingerbread dough and an insane amount of enthusiasm, crazy ideas and long hours of baking to make the display.
