Thanks for your feedback Mandy. My observations are based on the detailed discussion I had with the judge asking about both my cake and if I had tried various other things and some of the scenarios I mentioned at the start of the piece (simple plain cake vs large, ornate, complex, detailed). The feedback I got was that it didn’t matter what you did as long as it was completely technically accurate. The piece of paper I accidentally glimpsed confirmed that, the only time the design was mentioned is for gold, where the word imaginative was used. The lower levels were pretty much all about technical aspects xx
