Entering her mince pies, biscuits and fancy cakes into a show was a great way for Linda Grundy to enjoy a bit of friendly competition.
But with mum Edna Holmes as her rival, the 56-year-old from Carlton had to up her game to prove she was top baker.
They duo were among dozens of exhibitors at the West Bridgford and Rushcliffe Horticultural Society's annual show, which took place at Lutterell Hall on Saturday.
While Edna walked away with the better mince pies and sweet biscuits, Linda's four fancy cakes were better placed.
83-year-old Edna, who lives in West Bridgford, also received first place for her jar of home-made jam, bell peppers and two dressed onions.
She said: "When you have been working hard on your allotment it is nice to show the things you have done.
"It is worth it when you come down and see you have got a prize. I love it, it is a real sense of achievement."
Linda added: "It is always good fun and a bit of friendly competition between me and mum."
The show - which is now in its 112th year - attracted 430 entries on Saturday. Cups, medals and awards were handed out by the Mayor of Rushcliffe, councillor Ron Hetherington, followed by an auction of exhibits.
Visitor Diane Watanabe, 46, of West Bridgford, said she hoped the event would encourage more people to grow their own produce.
She said: "It is one of these traditional community events that I think should keep going. I like coming down to admire some of the things people have managed to turn out."
Show secretary Audrey Peacock said: "I think we have done well again. We have allotments in West Bridgford actually and see this as a culmination of the gardener's year. But it's not just for members, anyone can enter. It is a chance for people to show what they have produced and for people to look and see what has been achieved."
