Many of this year’s contestants have made the cake
classic a tradition, though there were a couple of new
faces in the top places.
For families like the Runyons, Carters, and Crider, it
has become a family tradition. There appears to be
developing cake dynasties in these families as these
three families dominate the competition with their
expertise.
Most of these contestants enjoy baking and the
friendly competition, but for many it is a great way to
support both the fair and the 4-H programs.
Mike Maske has been donating his service to the
auction for many years. As the sum total of $3,450
indicates, the donors really appreciate cake, but their
motivation is more than beating out a “Betty Crocker”
cake--they enjoy supporting the nurturing values of the
4-H program.
Support for 4-H and the fair is what the Logan County
Cake Classic is really all about.
