Leap the Elk and Princess Cottongrass

Leap the Elk and Princess Cottongrass

I couldn't wait to share the Elk and princess Cottongrass - the sculpted 3d cake, that went to the annual Art of Cake Competition 2023 at  Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) Hosted by @cakebakesweets and Australian Cake Decorating Network 
This was my third cake competition, and I hope you can remember my 1st cake the firefighter Andy and koala in 2019, and the second cake, Medika the Indigenous Australian girl who stole everyone's hearts last year.
The Elk was created using real cake, hand carved and hand sculpted with a few different mediums and techniques.
Last night Princess Cottongrass and Elk won two titles
1st place - 3d sculpted cakes category
The overall grand champion award 
Stay tuned I'm going to talk more about this cake, the inspiration, techniques and mediums in my next few posts.
Congratulations to all the winners and participants!
