Anthony still waited to see the other judges tasting the pie before he took a bite and sighed with relief.

The pie was perfect, a layer of chocolate custard over vanilla ice-cream in a chocolate crust and topped with dark chocolate sauce and shavings.

Anthony soon forgot all about the previous, much more literal mud pie.

The final entry was a traditional red velvet cake with vanilla icing submitted by Bert.

Anthony and Randy both were fairly pleased with this, and when it was time to judge, everyone had received fairly high marks--except for Skeezy and Lady Stinkmeaner.

Karl was announced the winner and to conclude the event the judges were allowed to select one of their favorite entries to take home with them.

Randy went straight for pineapple upside-down cake and refused to permit anyone else to take it.

"Oh my, Ah'm richt flattered," Ericka giggled.

"This will not see the end of the day," Randy assessed before taking a large bite out of the cake.

"Oh, weel perhaps Ah should make another fer ye, tha' way ye can share it wi' yar family!" said Ericka.

"Yes! Make more," Randy urged with an eager grin.

"Ah'll get started richt away," said Erika.

Randy seemed pleased as he debated whether to actually share the second cake...

Greta and Randy took Katie to another event, the petting zoo.

Curiously examining some of the animals was a familiar pair. "Greta, Randy!" Deedee greeted them with a grin.
"Hello!" said Mary, who was holding a chicken.

Greta waved, "I didn't expect you two to be here!" she said.
