Have you heard of Marjorie Johnson? She is from Robbinsdale and is the most-decorated baker around. She has won over 2500 blue ribbons, and has been a guest on Rosie, The View, The Tonight Show, and lots of radio shows. She is now a special correspondent for Jay Leno - covering sporting events and, I just heard, she will covering the Emmys this year!
She is just a hoot - she stands 4'8" and NEVER stops talking. She has her own website, and this year her cookbook is coming out, and she says she has been so busy getting it written that she hardly had any time to enter any baked goods in the Minnesota State Fair.
So she only won 7 blue and 2 sweepstakes this year.
I'm ordering her book!

Ok, this one I know that I heard right... She may not be able to enter at the fair again, because with the income from the book, she will go from amature to pro.. and the rules state that you can not make your living from baking.. or something like that.. she was on one of the morning news programs that I was watching.. But WOW 2500??!!
Yeah, that sounds right - but she also said now that she is giving away all her recipes in the book, people will be able to duplicate her prize-winning goods anyway, so it's time to let others fight it out! Heck, she is too busy with covering all the stuff Jay Leno sends her on to really bake anymore :-)
