Welcome to the 2019 Boga Bake-Off!
While most of you have participated in previous polls, here is a quick history for any newbies:
The Chiribogas used to decorate Christmas cookies like any other family, but as they continued to bake, their creative juices flowed. Santa turned sexy, snowflakes become infinitely more elaborate, and cookie shapes were seen as mere suggestions instead of strict guides for designs. Toothpicks became the go-to tool for applying individual sprinkles and a new type of cookie decorating emerged...the Boga Bake-off was born - over 20 years ago!

This year...
Jamie and family hosted the Browns (Robin, Patrick, Ethan, Henry) and the Bogas (Nancy & Doug) for an epic yet low key 5 hour decorating session. We really feel we've hit our stride with perfecting the frosting recipe (not too runny, holds it's shape, dries shiny and bright). Mia even sat for 3 hours, successfully alternating between applying her sprinkles and eating frosting.
This year, top news stories and television were our main inspiration. But it wouldn't be a Bake-Off without a Jackson Pollock and a "Bogas" cookie. Nancy even threatened to retire the Bogas theme this year, but with a little coaxing she came up with quite the contender.
Later in the evening, the Bogas welcomed some friends for an intimate cookie review and voting session. With the holiday music, pear rosemary vodka, Trader Joe's apps, and Anthro Christmas candles, an especially good time was had by all....
