Selma you’re just one of the loveliest people ever. Yes, the grading was a bit of a mystery to me before I participated this year, I remember being surprised for similar reasons as you say when I attended my first CI in 2014. It has opened my eyes to technical aspects which I didn’t consider before, which is good, and helped me better appreciate the perfect work I see from others here and in fb. But part of me would love to see recognition for the creative, design and artistic elements as well… Perhaps in classes other than wedding cakes this is more the case already x
