Roseville mayor judges one-of-a-kind cook-off at Cherry Pointe senior living community

Ebenezer chefs’ desserts pleased the pickiest palates

To demonstrate that senior living community chefs can please the finest palates, Mayor Dan Roe and senior living residents last week judged a dessert cook-off at Cherrywood Pointe of Roseville.  Chefs from six Ebenezer senior living properties competed last week in the one-of-a-kind cook-off at Cherrywood Pointe of Roseville.

Sue Brinkhaus, corporate chef for Ebenezer Management Services, introduced the group of distinguished Ebenezer chefs that included Brandy Aquilera, TowerLight Senior Living; Darci Baumann-Fern, The Shores of Lake Phalen; Jerry Compton, Cherrywood Pointe Senior Living; Agnes Fellinger, The Trails of Orono; Jeanne McHale, York Gardens; and Marc Weber, The Fountains at Hosanna.

Some of the tasty desserts featured Salted Caramel Brownie Bites, Triple Layer Cookie Bars, Banana Bread, Mini Oreo Cheesecake, Toffee Triangles and Apple Crisp.  Jerry Compton of Cherrywood Pointe Senior Living received the Critic's Choice Award from Mayor Roe and the popular vote for his Salted Caramel Brownie Bites.

“The chefs presented their favorite desserts to the judge as well as to the residents who attended the cook-off,” said Barbara Mekenye, executive director of Cherrywood Pointe.  “It was not only great fun for the participants and residents, but it was an opportunity for the chefs to try new recipes and share ideas with other Ebenezer chefs.”
