I am very excited - I have just submitted my entry form for baking in the Royal Adelaide Show!!!
I have been being sent the entry information every year for about 5 years, since I went one year and saw the very poor showing of cakes there. They did not look good! I thought I can do better than that, so put my name down. But every year I've been too worried, or had too much on at the time to be organised to be in it. So, I have bitten the bullet this year and am going for it!
I'm entered in the sponge cake class and of course the cupcake class.
I'm thinking I will do black forest cupcakes, as I think they're the best I make - nice and moist and look good with the cherry, cream, chocolate on top.
Sponge, will just be a sponge - seem to be very strict rules so hopefully my favourite recipe will cover me there. Not as enthusiastic about the sponge entry as the cupcakes, LOL!
So, I will need to be ready for the morning of the second of September (lots of thinking time between then). I am thinking to be nice and fresh it would be best to do them that morning, but am then worried if something goes wrong I will have no time to fix up. Perhaps the night before might be best.
Anyone have any tips for entering cakes for judging?
Cupcakes, night before, ice/top that morning (early lol) sponge, that morning, but do a couple batches of each maybe?
Also, don't forget to take a full cake repair kit with you to the show - icing, garnishes, tools etc for fixing things after you arrive.
WTG Star, that is really cool!!! I haven't been to the RAS for a couple of years, but make sure you take photos would love to see your work and those cupcakes sound divine
Entering cakes in the show!
