No one brought sugar plums but there were cherries and cranberries at the Holiday Bake-Off at the Wood County Public Library Monday night.
Sherry Potocnak won for her chocolate -covered cherries. This was her time in the competition — she just moved to Bowling Green a year ago.
She’s been making the confections for five years.
The second place went to to Katarina Kiefer, Bowling Green, for her cranberry custard. Kiefer said she developed the recipe for the bite-size tarts from a recipe for a full pie.
The atrium was packed with tasters who got to vote on their favorites among the 30 contestants. Michele Raine, assistant director for adult services , said that’s double the number of bakers from last year.
Students from Vicki Hoehner’s piano studio provided holiday music to munch by, and Mrs. Claus was on hand to give out the prizes.
