I just returned from a very intense weekend where I participated as a finalist of the cake design championship in France in Marseille.
http://www.expogato.com/championnat/
We were 3 finalists selected from a decorative exhibit created on the theme of French art
I choose the steampunk universe of Jules Verne

The final included a taste test and a live decorating challenge.
The cake decorating should match with the decorative piece made ​​for the selection
We had five hours to make the cakes and decorate them, which was a real challenge

Here’s what I presented to this occasion and I got the silver medal

hope you’ll enjoy
