Golden Toothpick Award & Grand Prize

Entry: Panda Compressed

Patricipants: Abi Norwood, Ryan Norwood, Kaitlyn Peot, Erica Meninno

​

Panda Compressed is a play on American-Chinese take-out food that we all know by the iconic boxes. We added a Baltimore touch to our design by putting the Patterson Park Pagoda on our boxes. The food included a mini mug of oolong tea, General Tso chicken, vegetarian egg rolls, and teeny fortunes cookies with even tinier fortunes inside. Our goal was to create something quirky, unique, and tasty!

Bright Idea

Entry: Winter Wonderland

Paticipants:  Dana Brenner, Cora Hofsetter, Daniel Viete, Grace Kim, Hannah Peters, Joanna Meade, and Robyn Vance

 

Winter Wonderland - a tiny gingerbread village of mini-chalets and A-frame cottages each adorned with whimsical icing, shiny sprinkled dots, a fondant tree, and a baby candied flamingo lawn ornament, in true Baltimore style.   All tucked into a snowy mini-mountain, your wintery retreat is complete with a small cup of cocoa. 

 

Bad Idea

#ForbiddenSnacks - Tide Pods

Participants: Blake Rose, Griffin Casey-Miller, Jessie Xander, and Jenny Revilla 

 

These "tiny tide pods," though tasting vaguely like soap and plastic, were nontoxic (unlike the real thing. Please don't eat tide pods). They were made from agar (a vegan gelatin), coconut cream, and cake decorating gel icing.
