Sharon Karlheim of Cambria County won the blue ribbon Jan. 7 in the annual Homemade Chocolate Cake Contest. Her layered Chocolate Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Cake calls for several types of frosting, ganache and mousse.

Judges evaluated more than 60 cakes on taste, presentation, consistency and other metrics.

Baking contests are one of the hallmarks of the Farm Show, which runs through Jan. 14 at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex & Expo Center in Harrisburg. Along with chocolate cakes, judges scrutinize apple pies and angel food cakes.

Contestants compete at county and community fairs to become eligible to compete on the statewide level at the Farm Show.

Throughout the years, Karlheim has won numerous ribbons in Farm Show baking contests. Last year, she earned first place in the Apple Pie Contest for a pie made with vodka in the crust.

Here’s Karlheim’s winning recipe:
