No champion cake this year...as predicted.

[sinkingfeeling]

I usually take photos of my cake entries with their ribbons after I bring them home. We kind of messed up today and left them sit in the back of my son's hatchback while we made some stops in Springfield. So all the chocolate balls melted and my half fondant/half modeling chocolate dragon sagged, pulling down a castle turret. Only the birthday cake survived. I got a first place on the Christmas cake and second on the other two.

1. Still very pretty.

I used to like to go to our state fair on the last day and walk through the food winners, which, nearly two weeks after judging, were usually slumped and sometimes even moldy.

I’m perverse that way.

2. Any cake I decorated would get a "Try a new hobby" ribbon.

Or maybe a sad face ribbon.

But they are beautifully done and you obviously have a lot of skill in decorating and baking. Plus they look delicious! Great ideas for your entries.

11. Obviously your talent is in evidence here!

They are beautiful and I’m sure take tons of skill and artistry!

12. Aww

That turret had a sinking feeling? Well, we know you’re a champ! Your disasters would top the best cake I could ever hope to make. 😁

14. I know I have an untrained eye...

...but these look amazing to me! Beautiful! Why in the world are they having this competition in the heat of the summer, though?

16. Illinois State Fair. Their building was air conditioned. We just messed up bringing them home.

15. You should try sculpting in clay or something

since you are so talented. Your creations would be saved that way. You have good eye-hand coordination.

17. The pink rose is made of gum paste and I will be able to keep it.

[BigmanPigman]

19. That's the one that really caught my eye.
