The OFFICIAL 2009 Gingerbread Man (Or Woman) Decorating Contest

December 8, 2009

All the cookies, all lined up.

The Great Gingerbread Cookie Decorate-off is over, and with a bevy of bejeweled bakery goods scattered amongst our break room tables, we have made our difficult but oh-so-satisfying decision.

But first, the cookies. Be warned – there are a lot of images after the jump.

Corey's cookie: Mall Santa After Work.

Corey underwhelms with his rendition of a mall Santa after work. (Booze bottle and cigarettes are difficult to see, and also very inappropriate.)

Tammy’s cookie: Tiger.

Lisa’s cookie: Mistress.

Tammy and Lisa went topical with a pairing of newsworthy gingerbread cookies: Tiger and Mistress (respectfully).

Erik’s cookie: Mr. Sandman.

Erik turned the creepy up to 11 with Mr. Sandman.

Karla’s cookie: Venus de Ginger.

Karla’s grasp of fine art is only matched by her inability to leave the arms on her cookie. The armless Venus de Ginger, everyone.

Amie’s cookie: Martha Stewart.

Martha Stewart would be proud of Amie’s Martha tribute, complete with stockpot and stirrer.

Kristi’s cookie: SUH!.

If Heisman Trophy nominee and Nebraska Cornhusker Ndamukong Suh knew he’d have a cookie created in his likeness, he’d be assured the best week ever.

Becka’s cookie: Peek-A-Boo.

Peek-A-Boo, the Christmas Elf, explodes with good cheer and cuteness. So thanks for that, Becka.

Joey’s cookie: Dead Rollerblader.

Joey goes with a touch of morbidity thanks to a broken spoon, a bloody head, and a dead rollerblader.

Justin’s cookie: Showtime.

Not everyone understands that this is the Celtics’ year, especially Justin. Which explains this Magic Johnson “Showtime” cookie.

Teresa’s cookie: Bahama Mama.

An impressive head of brownie-assisted hair tops Teresa’s warm weather wishes: Bahama Mama

Cami’s cookie: Sonny Side Up.

It’s a cookie. It’s an egg! It’s both. And thankfully, it’s here. Because, really, the original cookie that Cami devised is not appropriate for an All Ages Marketing Blog.

And finally – our winners..

Melissa’s Cookie: Kirby Claus.

An Honorable Mention goes to Melissa, who recreated Santa in the image of Kirby Schultz, complete with wire-frame glasses and candy cane sleigh.

Jason’s Cookie: Rudolph.

Third Place goes to Jason, who accidentally flipped his cookie upside down and saw visions of Rudolph.

Lynell’s cookie: Gabriel Ann Halle Lu Lu.

Second Place lands in Lynell’s lap with HenkinSchultz’s guardian angel, Gabriel Ann Halle Lu Lu.

Wendy’s cookie: Ginger.

And finally, First Place goes to Wendy, who painstakingly knitted a sprinkle-laden sweater for Ginger. Sure, there’s no face. But…seriously. That was probably more work than it was worth.
