2024 Cake Day!

November 19, 2024

Every year, the Good Library hosts Cake Day, where anyone on the Goshen College campus can bake a cake and bring it in to compete. Cakes are judged based on taste and presentation, with a public tasting following the judges’ decision. This year’s winners were…

  • First place: Tillie Yoder, with a pistachio blackberry cake
  • Second place: Lisa Miller, with a caramel apple cake
  • Third place: Emma Gingerich and Maddie Bollinger, with a chocolate peanut butter cake

The judges this year were Rob Brenneman, Naomi Klassen and Jasmin Smith. Check out the competition below!
