The highlight of the Cake International Show is viewing the incredible talent of cake decorators in the competition display. A great number of tables at the back of the hall display awe-inspiring creations of sugar craft and cake architecture amongst a variety of categories, including students and, of course, international entries. Here's just a small selection:
If you're keen on sugar craft or creating cakes of beauty and interest, then there will be a stand selling something just perfect for you. Cake tins, biscuit trays and chocolate moulds of all shapes and sized; sugar paste and chocolate couverture in every colour and consistency; books and classes to learn more skills; holders, carriers and display stands. Literally everything except the kitchen sink (though maybe I wasn't looking hard enough...).
Experts are on hand at many of the stands demonstrating how to use their products so you are certain to pick up a few tricks and tips whilst there as well.
Around the edges of the halls are the stages and hands on kitchens to take part in live classes. We didn't have time to take in any of these but the
descriptions sound fabulous for any cake lover!
There are still
tickets available online or on the door.
