The first cookie artist out shared her gazebo. Apparently, the filming of the second part is done before they judge the first part. 

I wonder why they do it that way.  Her gazebo was really cute.

I know I've watched every episode of this show.  However, I've been watching the reruns and feel l've been watching all new shows.  I vaguely recognize some of the cookies and construction projects but almost none of the bakers.  I guess I need to pay more attention.

Heather’s gingerbread village was very detailed and pretty but it wasn’t North Pole!  I would have rated it third, behind Germany and Philadelphia and before the dogs.

I cannot wrap my head around a blood orange gingerbread cookie.

I severely dislike when contestants are given off the wall ingredients they have to use in their desserts.  Having to incorporate cheeseburger toppings into a cookie is stupid AF.  And how is pineapple a cheeseburger topping?!?!

The winning cookie was amazing!

Maybe pickle was just too much?? 

I really thought there was a missed opportunity with the cheese. Making an apple cooking, there could have been a play off on apple pie with cheese. Using it to pipe was not enough of an effort.
