Cooperative hosts bake-off competition to celebrate 85th anniversary
PEC employees and their families gathered at the cooperative’s Liberty Hill office September 13, to put their best baked goods forward in celebration of the co-op’s 85th anniversary.
Entries ranged from cakes and cookies to pies and a variety of delicious confections. Pamela Wooten with PamCakes – A Cottage Bakery served as the competition’s grand prize judge.

The following employees and their entries were named winners in their respective categories:
Grand Prize: Selected by Pamela Wooten based on appearance, taste, and texture.
