French to English Tech/Engineering Architecture tourist-oriented description of a building

I find it hard to understand what the meaning could be here — I even wondered if it mightn't be a typo?

"Monumentale dans ses dimensions, l’ambassade ... reflète le style confiseur de l’architecture stalinienne."

Now whilst some styles of architecture could indeed be likened to confectionery, with some buildings resembling a wedding cake etc., I hardly feel this applies to Stalinist architecture (though I freely admit I don't know much about that!) — the only possible clue is that it does go on to say that the building is in white marble.

For info., it is referring to the Russian Embassy in Berlin.

Here's an image:

I suppose there is something faintly wedding-cake-like about it after all...
