So, we just went all out with candy and stuff that we knew,' said Kristy Reitz, who, along with Kylee Carpenter, won the first round. 'Bunch of sweets. We made our homemade lollipops. We made really tiny ones, stuck them on top of the cupcakes,' Carpenter added. The creations were then judged by community members and a bakery owner.
