The Vancouver Foodster Brownie Challenge was a success featuring brownie creations from bakeries and cafes around Vancouver. Each spot featured their brownies creation from July 3-28, 2019. Our media judging panel determined the ultimate winners of the challenge, and this was quite the task as each judge who tasted each creation with a rigorous process based on taste, originality/uniqueness and presentation/appearance.
The Winners are:
1st Place (tie):
