hi heba i only do cake international i will say firstly read the rules and read them again it must be so hard to put all the hours in and not reap the rewards ,for me i would say it is important to show different techniques but they must be done to the best of your ability .i only ever have achieved gold in the past never had a place although it would be amazing i don’t take myself to serious i love to go to see everyone’s work and meet with cake friends i have met over the years .hope this is helpful
