OMG it has taken me this
long to catch my breath after the Cake London Exhibition 2012, at
Excel
Had a wonderful weekend,
great venue with lots of facilities and local to me -
bliss.
Bernard the Owl rocked
the display class and won GOLD (And some prize money – a first for
me)
He was much admired so I
hope you all enjoy him.
His breast feathers were
painted individually and his back view was coloured with 9 different coloured
(none of which were brown!) dusts in a variety of 6 different patterns – he was
a bit of a labour of love but I had seen some gerberas in a flowers shop that
sat side by side and they looked just like owl eyes to me and so Bernard was
born (Barny to his friends)
The second and more
exhausting part of the weekend was the PME live
competition.
Our heat was on Sat and
we all -Jo Haines, Ceri Griffiths and myself, acquitted ourselves
well.
The time of 3 and a half
hours was very tight and we did not quite finish but our magical seasons colour
cake looked excellent when presented
We thought we were going
large at 33 inches but we paled next to 2 of the other
entries.
Here are our original
drawing and this is the finished article.
