2021 Logan County Fair Lincoln Daily News July/August 2021 Page 285 Friday, August 6 Photos by Nila Smith Cake classic competitors decided at Friday Culinary Show time, all very good. In the end, it was again Daniel Crider who walked away with the first place cake. There were some more hard decisions to make in the Angel Food Cake category, but it was the one prepared by Rose Harold that took first place. In the Chiffon Cakes there were three, each flavored differently. Again another hard decision for McAllister, but in the end it was the cake backed by Jeannie Runyon containing finely chopped pecans that took the first place ribbon. When the category judging completed, McAllister moved on to the Best of Show and after a few minutes of consideration declared Runyon’s Chiffon to be the best of the best. Runyon will bake a chiffon cake in the Cake Classic on Sunday. Others lined up to bake on Sunday will be: Karen Sandel – German Sweet Chocolate Mary Johnson – Chocolate with Chocolate Frosting Red Velvet – Hannah Crider Baker’s Choice – Daniel Crider Angel Food – Joyce Conrady White Butter Cake – Dana Oltmans A yellow cake will also be offered on Sunday, but the baker was not yet determined at the end of the day on Friday. Baking will begin at noon on Sunday in the Lincoln Stage barn at the Logan County Fairgrounds. After all the cakes have been completed and judged the Cake Classic Auction will take place. There is no time listed for the auction, but it usually begins mid-afternoon.
