3rd Annual Bake-Off at work

Today was the 3rd Annual Bake-off at work.  I am not very creative but yet I always channel my inner "Claudette" and try to impress with my baking skills.  I bought a silicone pan from Avon that is used to make brownie lollipops.  It did not come with a recipe but I found out that you just follow the instructions on the brownie box.  I then "googled" to find out a few different ways to decorate the brownie pops.  These are the hottest thing going I guess because there were so many different ideas.  I used a big oreo and then a littler one for the hat.  Fruit roll-ups for the scarf and little sprinkle for the orange nose.  I then had snow garland that I wrapped around the bottom of the lollipops.  Maureen had sent me battery operated snowmen lights so I put those around the 8 pops also.  I won BEST PRESENTATION.  Wooo Hooo. 
Here is another picture:
I decorated one pop as a snowflake and on the piece of paper explaining my recipe, they had asked if there was anything special the judges needed to know.  I wrote "No Nuts on my Snowmen". LOL
So overall my inner baker was satisfied and now I know I can make different things like wedding bells, ghosts, santa, or even easter eggs for future blogs.
