During the winter holiday season, Blizzard challenges us to get our bake on. While thousands hop into the kitchen and design elaborate WoW-themed sweets, only a handful or two will rise above the rest for recognition and lootz.This year definitely did not disappoint. Blizzard chose the top fifteen designs, and is now displaying the winning submissions, many of which are not only creative, but display baffling skill. I wonder if they were all edible.
It was definitely difficult to pick out a personal favorite, but I think I'm going to have to choose Leyine's refreshment table. Although it likely was not the most complicated design, it struck me as the most fun.
Which dessert would be your pick? What criteria did you use when deciding; creativity, difficulty, overall appearance, or some other?

My favorive one, hands-down, was the cake that itself was a sculpture of a Winterveil Gnome baking cookies.
That was pure brilliance and amazing attention to detail.

That refreshment table looked great. Also loved the gingerbread-making gnome. The snowman cake was kind of cool, and the blood elf-themed gingerbread cookies were also full of win.
Regardless of how good the other entries were, they were still roughly 5-10x better than anything I could have come up with. :D I'm pretty terrible at baking, so a big thumbs up to all the contestants!

I really liked the gnome making the cookies. That is just extremely brilliant! Her body was perfectly shaped with no imperfections and to get so much detail on the tiny plates and cookies is amazing!

I made the Ironforge at the bottom! NBC and Tom Brokaw FTW, literally!
