First Prize

Judge’s comments:

Entry 178 – Schichttorte Cake

A highly impressive winning cake! The recipe was essential to help me judge this one and to realise the work that has gone into making it. You have chosen an unusual cake, requiring patience and skill to achieve the required texture without burning the 20 thin layers of cake mixture under the grill. Not many cakes for domestic consumption use ten eggs! You have achieved a high gloss on the chocolate glaze used to coat and add flavour to the cake. Congratulations.
Class 19 – Show Entry no.139

A plate of decorated party cakes.

Bug Life by Germaine Greer

1st Prize Kathryn Gardner

First Prize

Judge’s comments:

Entry 139 – Bug Life

A worthy winner! Excellent decorative skills shown, perfect finish and attention to detail. The cakes are well risen with a light, fluffy texture. You have provided a detailed and well-presented recipe page, thanks. Not evident in the photo is the interesting combination of ingredients used. The Honeybee Cakes contain home made yoghurt and local honey, the Ladybird Cakes contain coconut and yoghurt with a fresh raspberry centre. The decorations are formed from modelling paste which has been expertly coloured (not easy to get this even and streak free) Congratulations.
Class 20 – Show Entry no.140

A savoury pastry dish.

Forest Fidget Pie by Pigling Bland.

1st Prize Kathryn Gardner

First Prize

Judge’s comments:

Entry 140 – Forest Fidget Pie

A winner. What a great sounding recipe, one to try! Research suggests that it originates from Shropshire but has been adapted here for a Forest version. The decoration on top is imaginative and effective; it is an original idea to add ground pepper to colour some of the facial features, although a warning would be needed for eating. Using an egg wash rather than milk would have given a golden glow to the face. Skill has been shown in the shaping and lining of the tin with pastry, difficult to do in a deep container. The pastry is firm enough to hold all the layers of filling – potato, apple, onion, sage, curd cheese and apple juice. Your photo is presented well (the Hornsea plates bring back memories of the ones we used to have!) Thanks for providing a clearly typed and easy to follow recipe. Congratulations.
Class 21 – Show Entry no.19

A jar of jam, honey, marmalade or chutney. With label and date

Seville Orange Marmalade January 2020

1st Prize Jean Powell

First Prize

Judge’s comments:

Entry 19 – Seville Orange Marmalade

A winner. Your photo is clever in that it uses the sun to highlight the bright colour and clarity of your marmalade. It looks lovely in a garden setting, which is so different from the depths of winter when Seville oranges are in season. The marmalade is holding its shape well on the plate, so the consistency is correct, and the peel appears to be evenly distributed throughout. The label is attractive but for show purposes needs to show the actual date of manufacture, not just the month and year.
Class 22 – Show Entry no.162

A view of nature.

1st Prize and Best in Section – Neil Weaver

1st Prize Ellis Weaver

First Prize

Judge’s comments: What a good idea to paint a cheerful sunflower for the garden society’s show. And such a clever way of painting all of the seeds in the middle. (I am sure that the birds would like to eat all of those seeds.) A beautiful painting, well done.
Class 26 – Show Entry no.7

Any baking or sweet-making

baker aged 8

Joint 1st Prize and Best in Section – Ashton Smurthwate

First Prize

Judge’s comments: You look very proud of your scones and you should be. They have risen really well and they are a lovely golden colour. Seeing so many delicious looking scones has made me feel very hungry! Well done and a deserved ‘Best in Section’
Class 26 – Show Entry no.131

Any baking or sweet-making.

My birthday cake. Baker aged 5 made the cake and decorated it.

Joint 1st Prize Ewan Harrison

First Prize

Judge’s comments: Such a clever idea. Your Malteser boulders look very heavy. Did any of your dumper trucks get stuck in all that sticky chocolate mud? I expect everyone couldn’t wait to try a slice of your cake!
Class 27 – Show Entry no.132

A picture of a rainbow to hang in your window.

Paper chain rainbow by artist aged 5.

1st Prize Ewan Harrison

First Prize

Judge’s comments: What an unusual way of creating a rainbow. It hangs so nicely in your window. I am sure that it made everyone in your street smile when they walked past.
