It’s a tale as old as time, as far as baking is concerned: whether classic sweet concoctions such as apple pie or traditional savory offerings such as quiches are truly superior as far as taste buds are concerned. During the holidays, the inaugural Mrs. Santa Pie Contest and Tasting at Dawsonville’s Bowen Center for the Arts delved into this classic conundrum, with delicious results. Cooks of all tastes and experience levels participated, showing how anyone can enjoy the art of baking, no matter his or her schedule or preferences.
