I know these contests are judged by "unknowns" but how are they picked out?

The winners are picked by a panel of judges

I dunno.....I assume there's a panel of judges or something like that. It was a lot of fun to win last year, but the joking and chatting and idea sharing was the best part, just as it was during the Gingerbread contests and this one. I admit, I'm addicted to these threads!!

Now, that said, <DRUM ROLL PLEASE>

I've hatched an idea!!! Yes I have! As soon as Kendra goes home I'm going to get busy. I don't have much time but Ken isn't whining every hour needing something so I'm taking advantage while the sun shines!!

Edited: We crossed in the mail, YC! Teehee

No, no! I'm sorry! I should have worded it better. How are the JUDGES picked out?

Since there are a lot of bakers here, does anyone remember these things?

They were called cookie molds. The company is still around, but they have stopped making cookie molds altogether unfortunately, for some mysterious reason. I thought about these while I was making the duck cookies, my grandmother used to have a bunch. Anyone else remember them?

Here is my second entry:

A mother duck coaxes her ducklings to swim in the pond.
The ducks are all sugar cookies; cut with craft-store .25 cent-bin cookie cutters. They are decorated with food color/sugar glaze and cocoa powder "paint", and sit on a pond and grass of color-sorted jelly beans.

Here's my first entry!

My Spring Tree! I used meringue and made the stump, half of the trunk and branches, and then the other half. I glued together the trunk and then glued them on the stump (I used chocolate as glue) I decorated it with pecan halves to make it look like bark. I used a mini wheat, cut it, and made it a nest. I made a little bird from Peep filling and covered it and chocolate, then stuck it in the nest. Then I used green peep candies, and glued them to the back for leaves. I really can't believe it can stand up on it's own!

Both of these entries are amazing...

and so , so unique.

I wanna play but have no idea what to make.
Great entries everyone! Can't wait to see what the fondant queen (Blooie) comes up with this year.
