WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. — A cake inspired by Frank Sinatra’s “Come Rain or Come Shine” took the top prize in Pennsylvania College of Technology’s annual cake competition. The theme for the March 3 contest was “Love Songs.”
The cake was designed by Kelsey L. Park, of State College, whose winning techniques included pulled-sugar roses, piped “cornelli lace,” hand-piped lettering and fondant piano keys. Park is enrolled in the baking and pastry arts major at Penn College.
Second place went to baking and pastry arts student Jenna Zaremba, of Pottsville, for her 1960s-reminiscent cake based on the Beatles’ classic “All You Need Is Love.” Zaremba is also a student in the baking and pastry arts major.
Rachel C. Bryant, of Wellsboro, and Shannon E. Croney, of Lake Ariel, tied for third place with cakes inspired by Etta James’ “At Last” and Taylor Swift’s “Enchanted,” respectively. Both are students in the baking and pastry arts major.
