ELLISVILLE – Animal and fairy tale themes were the big winners at the annual Jones County Junior College culinary arts bake off.
Students used fondant decorate their cakes in the cake decorating contest, they had two days to make their creations before the campus was invited to vote on their favorite and were judged by an expert. Culinary arts instructor, Lisa Little said,“ The cakes look so great and they are really works of art, making these cake are really a hard job, because fondant can be difficult to mold.”
There are fifteen players in the competition who are all students. However Nikki Kay of Madison and current Hattiesburg resident won the overall competition with her ‘Hippo in the Spa’ cake.
"I really like hippo’s so that’s what inspired me to make a hippo cake,” said Kay. “I liked working with the fondant. It reminded me of playing with clay as a little girl.”
The JCJC preschool kids chose the ‘Chicken Farm’ cake created by Linda McLeod of Collins as their favorite. Second place honors went to Katelyne Ball of Purvis with her ‘Snow White’ themed cake.
Ashley Watkins of Petal took third place with her ‘Fantasy Island’ cake and Kala Carpenter of Ellisville won fourth place with her ‘Wedding Cake’.
