Friday culinary and dairy contests
yield first round top cake winners
O
n Friday at
the Logan
County Fair, Judge
Kathleen Emery did
not have an easy
decision to make
when it came to
cakes and candies.
However, the
popular cake was
Angel Food with the
most entries.
While waiting to
hear the results,
Department O
Superintendent
Mary Ellen Martin
read a list of bake-
off entries. Over
the years, top
awards have gone
to chocolate cakes,
red velvet cakes,
German chocolate
cakes, and spice
cakes.
As with the pies and
breads, taste as
well as appearance
is important.
The top cake
winners participate
in Sunday’s cake
classic, baking their
prize-winning cakes
for auction later in
the day.
