The Toronto Society of Architects’ Gingerbread City is a fantastical metropolis where you can eat the walls and taste the lamp posts. Our showcase is as diverse as our city, with the only rule being that all elements must be edible. This year’s city is filled with unique creations built by architects, bakers and clever place makers, including tasty bay-and-gables, towering modernist bakes and even timely sugary clinics.
Ready to explore? Click on the images below to take a closer look at these edible creations, see additional content including pictures, animations, and descriptions, and learn more about their design.
2020 Theme: Home – in a year when our homes have been top of mind, this year’s call asked our gingerbread makers to explore what the word “home” means to them. Even though this year we’ve all been asked to stay apart, thank you bakers for welcoming us into your homes!
