These are absolutely RAD!
Are there different categories or what’s the reason for several winning gold?

Can’t decide if I like the grinning shark or what I swear is an actual boot with flowers better.

Do they have to cut them to work out if they are actually cake or just 99.9% Fondant? Seems a little sus if they don’t hahaha

You’re going to look me in the eye and tell me that’s *not* a child’s boot with dirt and flowers in it? I call shenanigans.
In all seriousness, these are ridiculously well done and so beyond the realm of what I know I could ever achieve. Truly impressed and jealous of these artists.

They are absolutely incredible. Even if there was no cake involved!

Bunch of sculptors and artists who also happen to bake. That skill level on display everywhere is just amazing!

Are they edible? I mean are they taste like real cake?

I bet judging this is so difficult. So many amazing entries.

Isn’t the point of cake to be… edible? At this point, just do a contest with play d’oh.

Thank you so much for posting these incredible works of art! Must have been a treat to see them in person.

They’re lovely edible sculptures, but I really don’t share in the appeal of cakes like this. Once the “point” is to be as elaborate and un-cakelike as possible instead of being delicious, I lose interest. It’s not about cake, it’s about art, and I’d prefer a silly lump of a cake that tastes like heaven over a two-foot replica of Niagara Falls that tastes of sugared dust and almond extract.
Is it cool? Of course. It’s the same-but-opposite of when people sculpt perfect realistic berries and candies out of polymer clay – the novelty of things not being what they seem.

For everyone wondering, they have a ton of different categories under decorative & bake.
They need to stop calling this stuff “cake”. Or set a minimum weight and volume the must be actual cake, and part of the proof is that the creator eat 1/8 of the sculpture on stage before a prize is awarded. Selected by the 4th place baker.

Ah yes “cake” aka 95% fondant with store bought confetti inside

I don’t think these are cakes. 🤷🏻♂️ I guess technically they are but it’s just fondant.
