Linda just returned
with exciting news from the National Pie Championships in
balmy Orlando. Sweetie-Licious won two first place
ribbons in the Independent Baker category – one for
Linda’s Key Lime and one for our Aunt Ella’s Cherry Berry
Berry pies!! Yeah!
Then Linda competed in the Food Network’s ‘Pie Challenge’
for one of the coveted first places and a television spot on
the Food Network Challenge Series. She was fortunate
enough to win first place in the Citrus category for
her Key Lime & Raspberry Cream pie! The entire experience
was very cool and the National Pie Council, Crisco, and Food
Network people were all so supportive and happy for
her. They filmed Linda making that particular pie and the
host of the series, Keegan speaks of it when they talk about
possible pie winners. Linda is still over the moon about the
whole experience and is so excited to bring you all home
some more National Pie Championships blue ribbons!!
Coming Soon -- my journal about my
experiences at the
American Pie Council's
National Pie Championships, held in Orlando Florida.
For Now -- here are
some pictures from
Florida
