Boga Bake-Off 2020 Recap: Blow Torches, 5-peat, Barry Wood

Boga Bake-Off 2020 is done!  By now you've probably seen the winners, but we wanted to highlight a few funny moments, special guests and all the cookies submitted.  

Boga Bake-Off started late morning at Jamie's house.  Robin came and realized Mia is now old enough to actually chill with.  We zoomed in Adam & Maryanna in Pacifica, and Ellen, Barry, Nancy & Doug in Santa Fe.  

You may remember Cousin Adam from "CookieHenge" fame, the winner of the 2012 Boga Bake-Off.  He blazed new trails with the first 3D cookie, and showed up with a blow torch this year.  We appreciated the performance art as he set his cookie on fire, symbolizing the sh*tshow dumpster fire that was this year!

Jamie got a later start and struggled to finish her first cookie, which actually was not submitted.  Sometimes the weight of 4 straight wins, with aspirations of a 5th is too much for one to bear.  But turned out it wasn't so; Jamie persevered and went on to win the top two spots with RBG love and Stocking Stuffer.  While most people are familiar with the Barry Wood meme, turned out NONE of the Bogas were, which made Jamie a little nervous to post it publicly.   But people paid it plenty of love to secure it the #2 spot.

Nancy showed up with aplomb.  We had high hopes for her Trump's Gambit cookie, but perhaps it was too niche to garner the majority of votes.  Robin had confidence in her submissions...but better luck next year BOBS!
