The Minnesota State Fair is of course known for its food. But some of the best food you can’t try: The baking competitions.

The Netflix show is “Blue Ribbon Baking Championship” and it’s no surprise a Minnesotan is competing.

Jennifer Stoker is from Buffalo, Minn., and is featured on the show and of course also entered her baked goods in this year’s State Fair, but did not place.

She spoke with MPR News host Cathy Wurzer about the experience.
