May I just add my thanks to Alex for setting this up, and to Cathy for doing heroic amounts of work during a stressful personal time. Had either of us been in sole charge, a couple of the finalists would have been different, but agreement was mutual on the final choices -- and I was encouraged by the number of people who thought, after all the teapot tempests were over, that this was one of the best bake-offs ever.
Once again, congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone who entered and commented.
