Roughly 40 EMC members turned out to play games (from Catch Phrase and Telestrations to Tenzi and Man Bites Dog) and enjoy desserts (from rhubarb crisp and blueberry tart to banoffee pie and Twinkie bars) last Saturday night. Attendees of this second-annual event tasted and rated the desserts in three categories: best all-around, best presentation and “way to reach.” While the competition was tough (and delicious), three teens swept the awards for their chocolate mousse cake with raspberries. They received trophies and gift certificates to local bakeries. Congrats!

The promise of lots of sweets brought out tasters of all ages.
