Marriott Pastry Chef's Christmas Confections Rule on Food Network 

Brittani Szczecina, executive pastry chef at the Marriott Singer Island Resort and Spa, was the winner on the Food Network's Christmas Cookie Challenge, which aired on Nov. 28. North Palm  Beach Life interviewed Brittani about her experience in the podcast below.

Not only is Brittani a Food Network star, but also was in charge of decorating the Marriott for the holidays. That included a 25-foot tree in the lobby (check out the pans of cookies and whisk ornaments) and a Gingerbread House, almost twice as large as the one she built last year. Who knows -- her next starring role may be on HGTV!
