THE DALLES — The Dalles High Schoolers had their eyes on the pies on Friday, March 4, as the pie and tart class hosted their big competition.
In groups of two, students designed a pie and brought it to life. Then, various students and faculty appeared as judges, tasting the pies, picking their favorite designs, and how well they matched the drawing of their design. There was also a public vote for design conducted on Instagram.
There were 11 pies, with 10 featured in the competition, each created by a different pair of students. The pies were as follows:
The sixth pie, created by Anika Brackenbury and Kai Semlor, had a decorative top crust consisting of an interwoven lattice with leaves around the outside and cut-out flowers. The cake was voted best design by the judges. Brackenbury and Semlor were also judged to be the best at “selling” their pie.
The fourth pie, made by Grace Mcnab and Jessica Huizar-Perez, had a top crust designed to look like a flower with layers of petals. They won the judge vote for doing the best job at matching the drawing of their design. They also won the Instagram vote for best-looking design.
The first pie, created by Taylor Bloomdahl and Makayla Williamson, was decided by the judges to be the best tasting.
