Institute of America and has worked in the baking industry. She made
comments on the taste and appearance of each cake then wrote down
the total scores.
Top four winners Rose Harrold, Shannon Carter, Alex
Bergin and Jeanne Runyon.
Along with many veterans in the cake classic were new competitors
Shannon Carter, Tracy Bergin and Alex Bergin.
