2010 Orange County Fair Winning Cake

gumpaste tropical flowers

It was a wonderful year at the fair not only going and eating all the great fair food but being part of it this year. I was very excited and surprised to learn while I was at the fair that the cake I had entered won "Best of Show" in addition to the Division Winner and 1st place winner.

Winning ribbons!!!

Here are the ribbons I won for it all. It was a very exciting day indeed. The wonderful part was I got to share with everyone at the fair that came to see the culinary department the gumpaste flowers I create. Although it isn't an unknow sugar art, there are still many people who do not know about it or don't know how real they can look.
