Our editor Leeanne chatting with
Cake Boy Eric Lanlardthe real stars of the show were
the spectacular entries for the
offi cial cake competition, which
were divided into the categories of
‘main competition’ and ‘cupcake
competition’. With this year’s
theme being ‘Best of British’,
entries were spectacularly varied
and equally as bonkers: some of
the more memorable ones includeda larger than life cup of tea and
biscuits, famous British landmarks
such as Big Ben, and a giant bust
of Queen Victoria complete with
liquorice allsorts necklace by Becky
Graham that won best in show!
This year we had a fabulous timewondering around the market
stalls, catching up on the latest
baking and cake decorating trends,
viewing the live demonstrations,
and of course seeing all the
stunning competition entries! We
look forward to seeing lots more
friendly faces and fellow cake
enthusiasts at next year’s show on
the 5-7th October at Excel London- see you there! CDS
Some of the
spectacular
entries for the
official show
competition“I love Cake & Bake show as it is a show for everyone and refl ects the general
public’s ever growing love for baking and sugarcraft. To win gold at this
competition was special for that reason
and I had such lovely feedback from the
judges and all the people that saw her.
I think the competition at the show
is is a huge draw, people are endlessly
fascinated to see what can be done
with cake. I hope that going forward the
show organisers will consider introducing
categories so to encourage everyone
regardless of their level and experience
to enter. This would hopefully encourage
novices and professionals alike and make
it fairer across the board. It would also be
great to see a kid’s competition!
