At the fourth annual Santa Barbara Pie Contest hosted by Leela Cyd and Joya Rose at Potek Winery in The Mill, preschooler Madelyn Dennis toasted the competition in the youth category with a true blue-ribbon sweet potato pie. The budding executive baker agreed to sit down over some tepid herbal tea and iced cookies to share her winning recipe and seasoned baking methods.

I tried your delicious pie at the competition. Can you tell us a little bit about it? First, may I have a cookie?

Sure. How many can I have?
