of the competition, in which contestants had to come up with
cakes for a fictitious couple (the bride is a jewelry designer, and
the groom is an archeologist).
For the first time ever, the contest opened the competition to a
wider field of professional decorators, giving non-RBA members the opportunity to participate, provided they are currently
working full- or part-time in a cake/cupcake shop, retail or
supermarket bakery and have at least two years of decorating
experience.
The competition was held on the IBIE tradeshow floor for 12
hours over a three day period with contestants creating decorated cakes in five categories: floral cakes, wedding cake, fondant cakes, custom design cakes and sculpted cakes.
The highest scoring individual, as determined by a panel of
professional judges, was awarded the coveted Pillsbury Bakers'
Plus Grand Champion Trophy, sponsored by General Mills. Gold,
silver, and bronze medals were awarded for the highest three
scores in each category. Winning contestants shared in $14,000
in prize money.
