2002 PILLSBURY BAKE-OFF
|
|
CCCentral member Pat Harmon was one of several CCCentral members who were Finalists in the $1 million Pillsbury Bake-Off. Those whose recipes earned a trip to Orlando were wined and dined for a few days before competing head-to-head in the biggest recipe contest of them all.
The first night in town, many of the women who met each other through the CCCentral Forum, gathered at the luxurious Portofino Bay Hotel, where contestants were staying. Among the events organized for the Finalists were outings to Islands of Adventure theme park, City Walk and Hard Rock Live!... not to mention scrumptious meals, like the one pictured below. By the time the whole thing was over, and celebrity host Marie Osmond announced which recipe took the top prize, everyone felt like a winner.
