The Beason Ag, Chester, Cloverdale 4-Corner Clovers and Hollander clubs were to arrive at noon. Atlanta Ag and Middletown 4-H club members came in at 12:30 p.m. and at 1 p.m. the Hartem Clovers, Pioneers and Wide-a-Wake club members arrived. Michelle Dawson and Samantha Danosky were the judges for this year. Danosky is a professional baker who does numerous wedding cakes and other decorated cakes on a weekly basis. She had the great pleasure of being the judge for both decorated cake entries in this year’s show. First up was Reagan Titus who brought in a beautifully decorated patriotic cake. Danosky was very impressed with the young girl’s talents and offered her many words of encouragement. Reagan explained her choice of design and talked about her decorating techniques with Danosky. The judge carefully balanced praise and criticisms, pointing out the little issues but also giving Reagan tips on how to address those issues in future decorating projects. Danosky said overall that Titus had a lot of talent and a lot of potential. She said that in a few more years, if Titus kept up her practice in decorating, she would give Danosky a run for her money in the decorated cake world. Titus was entered in the Beginner Food Decorating category and in her first attempt at this art; she won a blue award and will also be the State Fair delegate in the beginner category. 4-H Bakers wow the judges at the Food and Nutrition Show Continued p SATURDAY, JULY 31, 2021 Photos By Nila Smith
