Logan County Fair Cake Classic Auction still a sweet attraction

Send a link to a friend

[August 06, 2013]  The Logan County Fair Cake Classic Auction continues to hold great interest and support for the 4-H. On Sunday afternoon eight cakes were auctioned off for a grand sum of $4,050. The funds go to the 4-H Foundation to continue support of programs.

Much cooler weather was definitely appreciated this year as the cakes were baked in the Lincoln Stage exhibit area. Baking began about 2 p.m., and cakes were all cooled, frosted and waiting under glass domes for judge Cindy Friedrich from Havana to begin her testing at 5 p.m.

If you are wondering how a cake judge maintains a slim figure, one of her other noted pastimes is running.

Last year, the 2011 Logan County Fair queen, Kelsi Ubbenga, had just learned to bake and entered her spice cake. She returned this year with a white butter cake recipe.

LDN congratulates each and every baker.

The cakes in order of judge's opinion, with their maker, buyer and amount:

  1. Spice, made by Carlene Carter, purchased by Cullers Fries for $700.

  2. Chocolate, made by Miriam Carter, purchased by Sivori Catering for $750.

  3. Angel food, made by Rebekah Crider, purchased by Harold Goodman for $400.

  4. Chocolate, made by Jacob Runyon, purchased by Kevin Ritchhart, Ritchhart's Petting Zoo and Larry Stanfield for $325.

  5. White butter cake, made by Kelsi Ubbenga, purchased by Kevin Ubbenga for $525.
