I can’t tell you how truly proud I am to have won the coveted Damen’s Favorite award for my towering “Blue Almond Trees” cookie sculpture. What many are calling a “work of art” and others call “breathtaking,” these cookies took years to concept and minutes to bake. This recognition of my years of culinary research and experimentation is a wonderful start to the holidays.
Following the success of our 2006 Cookie Contest, the Office of Creative Services is once again hosting a baking contest at noon, Dec. 14, at the home of Marcia Busch-Jones. The contest is open to all Creative Services employees and will be judged by five staff members, all of whom are precluded from entering the contest. Accepting bribes is discouraged.
Contest Rules
This year’s contest has two categories: Cookies and Bars. Each cookie or bar will be judged based on appearance and flavor. Entries must be homemade, and each person can enter a maximum of one time in each category, for a total of two entries. Please bring approximately two dozen cookies or bars for each entry. Judges: please refrain from compromising your palates with alcohol, spicy foods, or excessive sweets prior to the contest.
