Several cakes were baked and judged before a live audience, then later auctioned off to the highest bidders to raise money for 4-H. At the auction, the six cakes auctioned by Mike Maske raised $4,200. This entire amount will go directly to the Logan County 4-H to support programs throughout the year. Before the judging and auction began, Cake Classic Superintendent Rebekah Johnson thanked McEntire’s Appliance for providing the ovens used to bake the cakes, Peggy’s Place for the cake boxes, Darlene Begolka for sponsoring Tupperware for first and second place, the Pioneers 4-H group for their help in setting up and Mike Maske for being the auctioneer. Judging the cakes was Lincoln Land Community College Culinary instructor Terry Branham. After the results of the Cake Classic judging were announced, each winner brought his or her cake up to be auctioned by Maske, who asked each baker to describe the cake they worked so hard on and hold it up for the audience to see during the bidding. Jim and Darcy Culler were the top bidders for the first-place cake, with a bid of $1,000 continuing their longstanding tradition of buying cakes at the auction.
