6th annual alameda point studios pie contest

And the winner this year: Douglas Braak with a rhubarb blueberry. Now he did cheat, the pie was warm, but considering the lengths he went to, fighting traffic and all to deliver it, we overlooked that. The award winner is on the bottom left, almost completely consumed.
Across the bench from it is Benny's apple, guava, cardamom, ginger which definitely gets points for originality. And JP's pretzel crust mousse, questionable whether it is a pie or not, was a really surprise. That salty crust complimented the chocolate sweetness. Then there was the Salinas blueberriy, and seven other very tasty entries. Compliments to all the bakers. Okay and it's my blog so I have to show the remains of my persimmon, apple, pomegranate which tasted really good for breakfast this morning.
