When I got to St Mary’s Church the judges were half way through tasting and marking the Peace of Cake category.
Spectacular Showstopper
As the name suggests it is elaborate, extravagant and eccentric.
Shoes Anyone ?
Alice in Wonderland Themed cake
A Halloween themed cake
A bit of rainbow as it was drizzling outside.
A complete ramen kit with fried egg ofcourse.
I was amazed at the local talents from my town. It was great to see people come together in a very British manner over cake and tea. I hope you enjoy the cakes virtually as I did photographing them.
