The weather outside was frightful, but inside World Fare on February 13, the crowds were warm with good conversation and tasty treats as we celebrated A Chocolate Affair 2016. Seven area bakers brought their best recipes for visitors of all ages to taste and vote on, with celebrity judges Tricia Meyer (Three Rivers Downtown Development Authority) and Brother Abraham (St. Gregory’s Abbey) offering their professional opinion on the best presentation and most original.

And the winners were:

• Elisabeth Wenger with Chocolate Lavender Cake with Earl Grey Mascarpone (Most Original, Second Place People’s Choice)
• Karen Keefer with Chocolate Pumpkin Almond Butter Cups (First Place People’s Choice)
• Becca Sonday with Goat Cheese Espresso Brownies (Third Place People’s Choice)
• Lori Minor with Triple Chocolate Chip Layered Cookie Cake (Best Presentation)

Thank you to all who came out to make the Affair such a successful event in support of World Fare’s fair trade mission!
