Raley’s cake decorators battle for best cake

Raley’s held its first Cake Games among associates to pick the best cake in its stores.

Six finalists crafted special cakes, including an owl and a teapot, that were judged on aesthetics, taste and costing.

The retailer named Kristen Bundsen-Goodrich of its Placerville, Calif., store as the winner.

Raley's bakeries typically make a variety of cakes, including two-layer cakes, cake pops, sheet cakes, gourmet cakes and seasonal cakes. Some cakes can be customized with designs or photos.
