2011 Logan County Fair Queen Kelsi Ubbenga took up a new hobby that kept her a front-runner at this year's fair after her duties ended. Ubbenga took third place with her spice cake, and it won $400 for the Logan County 4-H Foundation. The cake was purchased by Judge John McClullough.

This year's queen, Dani Juilfs, said she was inspired by Ubbenga and is considering learning to bake to enter the contest herself next year. Who knows, if she does, maybe they will start a trend for fair queens.

Below are the rest of the competitors in the order they finished the competition. Logan County Fair President Dean Bruns and 2012 Logan County Fair Queen Dani Juilfs posed with each of the cake winners after the auction.
