Sawsen your cake is amazing!!!! That is a lovely read too. I too find it baffling at how the cakes are judge. I entered it last year for the first time and got Silver (I was a complete nervous wreck, sick as a dog for days leading up to it) and like yourself only told my closest family. Some people said that the cakes are judged on ‘techniques’ used but as you and some others have said it was hard to understand why some cakes got Gold when the cake next to them were far better in detail and finish were awarded either a Silver or Bronze? As Calli also said, stepping out of your comfort zone is a BIG thing and I really thought I was a complete nutter for entering when I walked into the room with my cake and saw all the other AMAZING creations …………..I wanted to turn round and walk back out! Don’t be too disheartened you have brilliant feedback from loads of cakey peeps. time to think on your next cake for the comp! xx
