Local architecture firms and bakeries have teamed up to design and build gingerbread sculptures focused on the theme “Egypt,” highlighting the inno- vation and food science that goes into assembling the elaborate sculptures. “The last two years of Gin- gerbread Adventures have been so much fun, and I’m always impressed by the creativity of the teams,” said Melony Beaird, OMSI events manager. “The architect firms really push the boundaries of what the bakers can accomplish with edible materials, and you will see new and innova- tive ways to use gingerbread and sugar.” Evening workshops will be held Dec. 13, 18 and 20. Tickets are $20 per gingerbread house (up to 2 people per house). Gin- gerbread Adventures is included with general admission to the museum and will be on view through Jan. 1.
