Golden Rolling Pin Award for Judges' Choice
Jury comments: Rendering a firm's project could be daunting, but this one is masterfully done. Great attention to detail throughout. A real artistic approach to color & texture with icing and candy. It looks like the real thing!

Jury comments: They really took this above and beyond, especially with the ornamentation of the buildings. It really feels like the North End, with the brickwork, copper-clad bay windows and gutters. Real sense of place with this entry.
