All-Florida Orange Dessert Contest in 1964
The Grand Prize winner was Mrs Malcolm (Mike) Pierson. Asked how she happened to develop the Orange Sunburst Cheesecake recipe that won an all-electric kitchen, a trip for two to the Grand Bahama Club, and numerous other prizes, the owner of hundreds of cookbooks said, “I had never seen an orange cheesecake recipe. But I couldn’t see why the flavors wouldn’t be compatible — my entry in the 1960 Orange Dessert Contest used cream cheese and oranges in the pancake filling. So I began experimenting.”
After three months of trying various combinations “on and off,” she came up with a cheesecake her husband likes. And her husband quipped, “It’s so delicious, I don’t know why someone hasn’t thought of it before.”
