Normandy Farm Pastry Chef Receives Top Honors at Philly Cake Competition
Colleen Winston’s chocolate devil’s food wedding cake awarded Best Tasting at “Let Them Eat Cake” charity event
March 6 (BLUE BELL, Pa.) – At Tuesday’s fourth annual “Let Them Eat Cake” charity competition, held at the Hyatt Regency at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia, Normandy Farm Hotel and Conference Center pastry chef Colleen Winston took home top honors, winning the Best Tasting Wedding Cake category. Winston won with her delectable five-tiered chocolate devil’s food cake with vanilla mousse filling, iced with chocolate butter cream and ivory colored fondant, and finished off with chocolate scrollwork and edible flowers. The event benefited the City of Hope, a biomedical research, treatment and educational institution dedicated to the prevention and cure of cancer and other life-threatening diseases.
Her creative concoction won over the hearts and taste buds of the judges, which included famed New York City pastry chef Sylvia Weinstock and Le Bec Fin pasty chef Rocco Lugrine, and beat out over 35 other entries from area pastry chefs.
For Winston, it was just another day at work and a whole lot of fun.
“There was such an infectious energy at the event,” she says. “It was an amazing competition to participate in all for a great cause, and I had a wonderful time preparing for the competition, speaking with the judges and mingling with all the event attendees.”
Winston is no stranger to success. Having been awarded with Best Dessert at a Restaurant in both 1999 and 2001 from the readers of Main Line Today Magazine, Winston is aware her sweet treats inspire lasting impressions in customers.
“Our guests are always commenting on the desserts we have here at Normandy,” says Bill Beisel, general manager of Normandy Farm. “Colleen is great at coming up with instant favorites that make lasting impressions.”
Winston’s latest accolade comes in the midst of her third decade of pasty experience. A graduate of the Academy of Culinary Arts in Mays Landing, N.J., Winston has worked as a pastry chef at many notable area restaurants, including the William Penn Inn, Passerelle, LaTruffe and the Rittenhouse Hotel. The Willow Grove resident continues to fine-tune her pastry skills with ongoing education, and has attended courses at the International Pastry Arts Center in Elmsford, N.Y., and the International School of Confectionary in Gaithersburg, Md.
At Normandy Farm, Winston lends her hand to a number of duties in the kitchen, including preparing cakes and edible favors for wedding receptions; baking a variety of sweet treats for conference center attendees; and adding her touch to tasty desserts for brunches, lunches and dinners at Coleman Restaurant, among other things. She works alongside an impressive staff that includes celebrity chef Jim Coleman, executive chef Ed Hancock and director of food and beverage Ray Sowden.
“What I love about my job is the variety it brings me,” says Winston. “Each day brings something new and allows me to test my creativity, my skills and the taste buds of our guests. It’s something that doesn’t get old.”
