Hi Shags, this is a really interesting read. I’ve entered competitions twice, both at Cake International Birmingham. Both times I got merits, so I was pleased because I really didn’t expect anything. I totally understand your points, and agree you need to know all the rules ahead and not be afraid to question especially after judging to understand where you went wrong. I found it difficult to understand how some cakes did better than others. And some cake decorators too. But for me personally I won’t be entering any more competitions. Too much stress just getting the blessed thing there! I’d rather watch and learn………..and I’m going to be watching a lot closer from now on……!! Thank you for being brave and honest. We could do with more of it in this world xx
