Walnut Sour Cream Coffee Cake Takes First Prize at GNA Bake-Off

A record 135 people turned out for the Greenacres Neighborhood Association barbeque and bake-off at Hitchcock Church on Saturday May 30th. The event was hosted by the Neighborhood Association and chaired by Greenacres resident Maureen Ryan. The picnic lunch and barbeque were catered by Jensina Olson who provided hamburgers, hot dogs, fried chicken and fruit. There was plenty of beer, lemonade and ice tea to wash it down. Kids enjoyed the playground and face painting while adults mixed, mingled and became acquainted with their neighbors.

The annual bake-off was judged by famed baker and former Scarsdale resident Seth Greenberg, chef Jensina Olson and Scarsdale Village Trustee Matt Callaghan.
