What an articulate and thoughtful article Sawsen. I attended CI on Saturday, would have loved to have seen you to say hello, but I also went incognito. Your cake was amazing, and I must admit I find the whole judging criteria very baffling, that would explain why I can’t understand why you didn’t get a gold for such a stunning cake. I had toyed with the idea of entering, but as a full time primary teacher I haven’t the time required to devote to competition entry. However, I think I may now just shelve the idea and get on with making cakes for friends and family made, as you said, “with love”.
