Bake-Off mastermind and Deputy Managing Editor, Caroline Pardilla, took home the Best in Show prize, as well as Most Delicious, for her Cinnamon Roll Cupcakes.

Erin Riches, Senior Editor, almost didn’t make the bake-off. She came straight from the track and dropped her Brown Sugar Poundcake Cupcakes off just before the judging concluded.
