HARRISBURG — The creme de la creme of chocolate desserts converged on the state capital Saturday at the 20th Hershey’s Cocoa Clas-sic Baking Contests. The contests, held at the Pennsylvania Farm Show, are a roundup of the winners of the Hershey’s contests at 109 local fairs throughout the state. The cake contest received a record 79 entries, said Karen Dobson, who coordinates the contests for the Pennsylvania State Association of County Fairs. The cookie/brownie/ bar contest, open to those ages 8 to 18, received 75 entries, down slightly from the 79 entries from the 2006 fairs.
