The 2nd Annual “Pie Baking Contest” was a big hit yesterday at the Larchmont Family Fair.

14 very creative bakers entered to win!

A special shout out to local residents and judges for their enthusiasm and ability to eat 14 pieces of pie! It was a tough job….

Chef Mark Peel (co owner of Prawn and formerly of Spago, Campanile and La Brea Bakery)

All local residents judged the homemade pies on the basis of overall presentation, tastiness and the name of the pie. Once winners were announced, the pies were shared with all!
