On Thursday, June 25, Berni Duffy, College and Community Relations, claimed victory as winner in the 6th Annual Third Floor, Spina Administration Building Scone Bake-Off.
Other scone bakers included: Sean Baker, Computing Services; Michele Bartell, Hospitality; Jeff Bartkovich, ETS; Janet Ekis, College and Community Relations; Mary Gilligan, Human Resources; Connie Herrera, Marketing; Gale LePore, Academic Services; Anne Perry, Academic Services; Lynn Rivers, Planning; and Bill Wagoner, ETS. Former winners Herrera and Perry baked their award-winning scones for the tasting but didn’t compete in this year’s event.
Judges Rosanna Condello, President Anne Kress, Diana Rayner, Mike McDonough and Anne Perry voted Duffy’s scones (Dr. Fronckowiak’s Smokin’ Scones) the winning entry this year. “I finally won the respect of my baking peers,” said Duffy. “I owe everything to Dr. Fronckowiak and the scone hotline.”
Proceeds from ticket sales to the scone and tea tasting event – a total of $240 was raised to support MCC Team Crohnies in their fundraising effort to support the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA). Many thanks to all those who participated.
