People have been crafting recipes all year, waiting in anticipation to showcase a family recipe or a new creation of their own. The Pie Bake a'la Beverly Hills & Piesta attracted more than 6,000 attendees in 2010. Locals and visitors alike enjoyed a wonderful afternoon in the sun eating pie and participating in the fun.
Last year's first place recipe was delicious Blueberry Cream Pie. Other winning recipes include a Wild Huckleberry Pie and a Strawberry Lemonade Pie. All winning recipes will be posted on the City of Beverly Hills website.
Judging will be based on the following criteria: flavor, filling, crust, overall appearance and creativity.
Ongoing events for kids will be held throughout the day including "Half Pint Pantry" where kids can make their own pies, and "It's in the Filling" where kids can make play dough pies and sift for treasure in flour. Slices of pie will be for sale all day.
