Gingerbread House 2025: Here Are This Year’s Winners!

After a full day of intensive work, the jury has selected the winners in the three categories: Architects, designers, and bakers, Up to 12 years old, and Everyone else who bakes. Additionally, the Public prize went to the entry with the most votes – over 6500 people participated and voted for their favorite!

The jury was deeply impressed by the 151 entries, which showcased an incredible range of creativity and craftsmanship. Each gingerbread house was carefully evaluated based on color and form, edible quality, construction, and connection to this year’s theme, love.
The challenge was tough, but the results are outstanding.

The Gingerbread House exhibition runs until January 11, 2026, at ArkDes, with free admission. Come and experience these amazing creations and be inspired by the bakers’ imaginative interpretations of the theme of love!
