Mrs. Cook's winning recipe was angel food cake filling, a favorite with one of her grandchildren. "It's a light dessert but you need quite a few people around to eat it. I usually make it a day ahead," she explains. Mrs. Cook especially enjoys baking on rainy ays, although she admits that she oesn't bake as much as she used to.
