I judged the pound cake contest today along with the Anniversary Queen (Karla), the CBS19 sports team, Erica Hall of From Scratch Baking Company, and my mom. We sampled 19 different pound cakes and scored them on flavor, texture, moistness, originality, and creativity. We sure were full after we finished! The top three winners are eligible to enter their original recipes at the state fair.
Karla and I also took part in the Cross-Cut saw competition. It was really hard, but we did it! A pair of men went after us and they were extremely fast. I think they had had a lot of practice, though! The second day of the fair was even more fun than the first, and I'm sure the rest of the week will be a blast as well.
