Ladies & gentlemen...
we have a winner!!!
​
At the 2023 Waterford Community Fair, 13-year-old Madison Link of Waterford took First Place in the Homemade Chocolate Cake Contest, making her eligible to enter the 2024 PA Farm Show competition in January.
Madison and her family traveled to Harrisburg the day before judging with two sets of base cakes, just in case – which turned out to be a good idea – one set got squished by water bottles in the car. Madison, then made the from scratch frosting and ganache in a hotel room and assembled the cake for submission.
At the Farm Show, the made from scratch layered chocolate cakes were judged on flavor, texture, inside characteristics, outside characteristics, and frosting. Of the 79 cakes entered in the competition it was the taste of Madison’s cake that put her on top! Along with a First Place Blue Ribbon, Madison was also awarded a cash premium of $500!
Named “J’s Slice of Heaven Cake” Madison describes her cake as a “normal classic chocolate cake” with a peanut butter buttercream frosting. When asked how she came up with the name, Madison responded with “My nickname is ‘J’ and a friend said the cake was a slice of heaven.”
If you'd like your own "slice of heaven" here's the recipe!
On behalf of Madison Link, Waterford Fair President, John Burawa receives an engraved award plaque from PA Department of Agriculture, Fair Fund Administrator Tracy Barone commemorating her winning entry!
