Christmas Cookie Champion offers twist to festive treats

HOUSTON, Texas -- A Houston pastry chef, who was crowned Christmas Cookie Champion on the The Food Network, is wowing fans with her unique take on holiday treats.

"You can get a regular gingerbread cookie anywhere, you can get a regular decorated cookie anywhere. If you want something weird, you gotta come to me." Andrea de Gortari said.

Andrea runs The Bake Happening from her home in the Museum District. She calls her style a mix of mid-century vibes sprinkled with horror.

"The cakes and cookies I do really translate to who I am," de Gortari said.
