Description
This monolith made out of real gingerbread and frosting was discovered in Corona Heights Park in San Francisco on Christmas morning. Hundreds of visitors hiked up the hill to see it and take photographs. By afternoon the next day, it had vanished, and now, where it stood, there is a little memorial with a framed picture of the monolith, a candle, some ginger and cinnamon, and a wooden spoon.
