In creating these fun, custom gingerbread cookies to celebrate the holiday season, Toronto's Cundari agency describes that this is the time of year for "Merriment, joy, and in Cundari's case, self-mockery."
Rather than taking the shapes of Christmas stars, reindeer or angels, these gingerbread cookies are cutout to resemble different roles in the office. There's the crying creative team, described as being only truly happy when they're miserable, the creative director with an enormous head and ego, and the producer, a gingerbread with a bitten off head. Of all these shapely gingerbread, one of the most comical is the one designed after the interns in-office—as Cundari sees it, these individuals are "Always willing to bend over backwards to help," demonstrated by a cookie with a big grin on his face and adopting a yoga-like pose.
