We need a few more entrants for the Season’s Best Cookie Competition during the Winter Solstice Party at the Cultural Center at Rocky Neck on December 21st. We think that some great cookie bakers out there may be afraid to enter because of the judges.
You should know that this is a blind competition, so the judges will not know whose cookies they are judging until the competition is finished.
About the judges.
Ed Collard is one of the most fair and impartial judges I have ever had the honor of working food competitions with. He likes to eat, knows what he likes, but is open to trying anything and everything, and is a master at determining excellent criteria for judging and having fun.
Mayor Carolyn Kirk is also a fair and impartial judge who really likes cookies and wants to have fun on her birthday. She has worked really hard for us and deserves some fun and good cookies to eat on her birthday.
Sister Felicia, now this could be the judge that is striking fear into the hearts of some would-be entrants. But fear not, be brave, creative and bold and enter your best cookie, confident in the knowledge that you can impress even the renowned queen of Sicilian cooking – just don’t bake Italian cookies unless you are really sure you know what you’re doing!
Go for it! Email Gigi at gigimederos@gmail.com or me at khanstudio@comcast.net with your name and the type of cookie you will enter (remember, no chocolate chip). Entrants will be asked to bring their dozen cookies in before the judges arrive on 12/21 at 2:00 to begin judging. They do not have to be holiday cookies. NEWS FLASH: All entrants in the Season’s Best Cookie Competition will be eligible to attend a free group cookie baking class with Sister Felicia!
