Pie champ Mary Ann Bartholomay dazzles teens and adults
A sixteen year old New York high school senior, Mary Ann Bartholomay, won the national cherry pie baking contest among 150,100 entrants aged 14 to 20, earning $500, an electric range, a trip to New York and Washington, and a chance to bake for President Eisenhower. She trained since August, baked hundreds of pies, and shared details of her crust using one third cup each lard and shortening, almond flavoring, and a mix of recipes. She defends teens, describes a small town life near Rochester, and aims to be a home economics teacher while balancing school activities and church work.
