First Entry in Cake International Competition - Merit Award! ✯

Havent updated for a while,  most of you may know I was busy preparing for Cake International  Competition in London Excel. It was my first time entering and attending to a cake competition, it was a such a great experience, I am very glad my Alice In the Wonderland theme cake got a Merit!

It took me a while to decide the theme after I signed up, I didnt want to make something too simple and would like to put as much details and as much skills as I could. It was my first time making full-body figures and wired flowers :) it took me 2 weeks of evenings to make the whole cake, I still cant believe I managed to put all these together :-O

The judges told me I actually got marked down significantly because I used wire for the whiskers of the Cheshire Cat and the March Hare, I thought it was ok for dummy display..they said otherwise I would have got a medal :-O... ohhhh next year then :-D

I am also very happy to meet and talk to other competitiors who share the same interest as me, I was absolutely amazed by how talented, skillful and creative they are, their artworks totally widened my horizon! Also thanks so much for a lot of kind supports and sweet comments! I am so touched and appreciated xxx

Here are some highlights of their works (apologies with the limited space here):
