Woo hoo - congrats to Sharon for her 1st place tuxedo strawberries at a work contest! Here's a picture from her test run of making the strawberries a few weeks ago...
She made more strawberries this weekend, took them to work yesterday, and her dept won the contest. I forget all the details - like if everyone had to make DESSERTS or if it was just any sort of food to impress others - I know she'll be posting more details on the contest and her winning. I just know her dept wins some extra money, plus as the new girl on the job she's really set the bar high for her future cooking-for-work adventures!
This is pretty impressive since she didn't even think she wanted to take on the challenge, not to mention had never worked with chocolate like this before. She offered up several suggestions of what she should do and let several of us vote, and we all picked the tuxedo strawberries. (I'm trying to convince her she needs to make marzipan babies and fruit next!)
(Technically, I believe the marzipan babies have been debunked, so maybe Sharon could be the FIRST to make babies from marzipan!?)
In addition to winning 1st place plus the accompanying money for her dept, it sounds like Sharon also made out like a bandit with door prizes and the like. Among other things, I know she's got a tree she has to plant now! And here I always get razzed for winning lots of goodies at our holiday parties here at work...I think Sharon trumped me!
Congrats Sharon!
