Gingerbread House 2019 is a fragrant exhibition of imaginative gingerbread houses. It is also a competition in which children, young people, adults, amateurs and professionals build and create side by side.
This year’s theme: Hot
This year, ArkDes encourages all gingerbread house bakers to bake what you think is HOT. What do you think of when you hear that word? Do you think of hot trends or tropical countries? Forest fires or sunny beaches?
Frida Leijon, Pastry Chef
Elsa Billgren, television host & blogger
Svante Öquist, journalist & blogger
Tor Lindstrand, Architekt
