Linda won Best of Show in the new "Innovative" category with Laura's Sticky Toffee Pudding Caramel Apple Pie! Not only did she get another large size check (for $2,000) to hang up in the shop, a trophy and a cool ribbon, but the recipe for this pie will appear on Crisco cans across the country this coming year!
Linda also took first place in the pumpkin category for Grandma's and Mommy's Pumpkin Caramel Apple Pie. She also got a second place ribbon for The Farmette's Beautiful Blueberry, Basil & Lime pie (in the open pie category)
The whole crew down in Florida is over the moon about their sucess at this year's competition. One first place in Small Commericial Bakery, one first place and one second place in the Professional Competition, and one "Best of Show" (and $2,000) in the Professional Division... AMAZING!!
