more from The Big Fresno Fair

I competed in two categories that had live judging.
​
In the custard pie division I entered my Sweet Potatoe Pie with homemade pie crust. The crust recipe was given to me by Bobbie Jean. I won second place.

The second live judging was in the cake contest.  I entered my Layered Checkboard Cake.  I won first place in the Chocolate Cake Division.

In the live judging division, the items are judged during the fair in front of spectators.  
The rest of my items were judged before the opening of the fair.  This is called "Blind Judging".  The results are not revealed until opening day.  I listed the items below and how they placed.


I competed in six categories.  Next to the categories, I listed my item entered.  Four of the six items did not place within the range  of 1st, 2nd or 3rd place.  These categories are listed below.

1.  Made with nuts.....Chocolate chip Walnut Pie.  
2. Butter Cakes.....Whipped Cherry Buttercream 7up Cake aka "Shirley     Temple Cake". 
3. Tricks with mix.....Chocolate chip Banana Nut Bread.
4.  Cupcakes.....Shaggy Dog cupcakes.
(none of the above 4 items placed) 
5.  Novelty Decorated Cakes.....Sculptured Head Tiger Cake (2nd place)
6.  Themed Decorated Cakes.....Boxed Wine Bottle (1st place and Judge's choice).
