Thank you Roo. After the judge explained what they’re looking for I could indeed see the small things she referred to – I made sure to snap enough close ups to show them if anyone wanted to see and those attending could have seen them from all angles. The only problem was that I don’t really agree this is the highest criteria a cake (or piece of art) can be judged by. There were many pieces I fell in love with which earnt gold, but the technical accuracy of the work (while impressive) wasn’t what made me love them. Hope you had a great time, and I would love to see you enter – for yourself, and others like me who will see the beauty in your work and not the imperfections xx
