Drumroll, please! ๐ฅ The winning baker of our 10th Birthday Cake Contest is...
CRYSTAL STANLEY
Owner of Crystal Kitchen in Bloomington, IL
Crystalโs winning โMorning Gloryโ cake stood out not only for its presentation, but because it exemplifies Fresh Thymeโs commitment to providing high-quality, healthier solutions and how a better-for-you recipe can be just as satisfying and delicious as more traditional options. The use of fresh produce (grated carrot and apple, honey, shredded coconut) and wheat flour that added flavor, texture and moisture earned Crystalโs recipe the title of Fresh Thymeโs official 10th birthday cake. ๐
Along with this recognition, Crystal will receive $5,000 and mentorship from a panel of industry experts to help grow her budding small business, Crystal Kitchen, plus a $5,000 donation made in her honor to Eastern Illinois Foodbank.
Congratulations, Crystal! ๐
