We have just returned from a great day at the Cheltenham & Gloucester exhibition. It was the first competition entry for all of us. James came out on top with his Handy Manny cake with a gold award and the trophy for his class and then he also won best in show for the Juniors.
Charlie got a bronze award with his Donald Duck cake and he is gutted that James has beaten him. He was only slightly happier when he found out that I got a bronze as well.
As i said, I got a bronze award for my tea tray of mini cakes. They are 2" fruit cakes. I got some good constructive criticism from the Judges, namely that they are huge so therefore they have far too much marzipan and asugarpaste on it. It also does not show make differing skills so next time I am aiming for at least silver.
