Gingerbread monolith delights San Francisco on Christmas Day A nearly 7-foot-tall monolith made of gingerbread mysteriously appeared on a San Francisco hilltop on Christmas Day and collapsed the next daySAN FRANCISCO -- In true pop-up art fashion, a nearly 7-foot-tall monolith made of gingerbread mysteriously appeared on a San Francisco hilltop on Christmas Day and collapsed the next day. The three-sided tower, held together by icing and decorated with a few gumdrops, delighted the city on Friday when word spread about its existence. He said he smelled the scent of gingerbread before realizing what it was. People trekked to the park throughout the day, even as light rain fell on the ephemeral, edible art object. The still-anonymous creator of the Utah monument did not secure permission to plant the hollow, stainless steel object on public land.
