Ste Pierre resident, Josee Cure wants to become "The Greatest Baker".  It's an international online competition with the first-place winner receiving $10,000 USD, a feature in "Bake From Scratch" magazine, and a year's supply of Stuffed Puffs.  Stuffed Puffs are chocolate-filled marshmallows...whoever thought of that should win an award!  

Josee passed the first hurdle of making the top ten and then made the top 5 and by the end of tomorrow, she needs to come out first in her group.  Voting is online and a Facebook account is required to vote once a day. 

She was introduced to the contest by a former classmate that was an exchange student and decided to give it a shot!  She's very appreciative of the support of the community in voting for her regularly, "it really gives that sense of community and for the bigger picture in general. Although, yes, I'm Josee and I own Jem Bistro in Ste Pierre, I think winning the competition is so much more than exposure for myself in general. I really believe that the southeast is just this hidden gem that we have so many good businesses and opportunities that people don't know about. Winning would be a good way to put us on the map."
