Hi my fellow CC'nians,
I won yesterday at the 2006 CA State Fair.
I got First Place (Blue Ribbon), Best of Division and Best of Class.
I'm not sure If I got Best of Show since I had to leave b4 it was announced. I f I did I will let you all know
...it was Pumpkin Cake w/ Maple Buttercream..everything is MMF. it was judged 96% taste, flavor, texture and 4% appearance and presentation. One cake was disqualified because there was human hair on it and one was presented in a big shoe box. There was a total of probably 80 cakes in the cake div. Thanks for looking. I named it" Autumn Breeze"
here is my entry:

Congratulations! The cake is beautiful. Did they judge on points? Did they give you a copy of your score sheet?

And now, for the obvious question that everyone asks, would you be willing to share your prize-winning recipes with us?

I never had and never will have a problem sharing any recipes, tips etc..
with anybody here. I don't have secrets about cakes.. Looks was not a big factor, and I knew that b4 hand, but I cannot present a "half naked cake". icon_smile.gif
