Adult Class : Decorated Jubilee Themed 20cm/8in Cake

“The cake is to be judged on its decoration only and will not be cut for judging – although a standard 4 egg Victoria Sponge mixture, divided into two 20cm/8in cake tins should be used to give a uniform height to all of the exhibits. Any filling can be used. As stated, the decoration should have a Queen’s Platinum Jubilee theme and the Judge will look for the most original design and the skill used to apply it. Entries should be exhibited on a plate.“

Adult Class: Three Sultana Scones

“These will be judged on their external appearance ie. colour, shape and uniformity and when cut, their texture, distribution of ingredients and their flavour and aroma. Only sultanas should be used with a basic sweet scone recipe and any deviation from this will result in the entry being disqualified. Entries should be exhibited on a plate.“
