Just that really, but as background, this is a monthly local cake contest, that also has a kids section & this DC enters every month with cakes that some adults would be proud of & is winning, this months being a single tiered heart, royal iced & covered with hand done red roses, other months have been various 2 tier iced & decorated cakes, always comes with blurb from the DCs DM about how he's done it all by himself
Could your own 5 yr old do this ? I know mine would have had a good go at that age, but she could not have managed anything even close to the standard of this DCs cakes & DD is recognised as gifted in Arts & Crafts, so she has always been way ahead for her age in anything like this. I accept this DC might also be very gifted with arts etc, but I still don't get it & wonder if AIBU or if some DCs at 5 really could do this
It's a real shame, as its actually putting my 10yr old off entering as last time round she shared first place with this DC, yet she really did, design, make & ice her cakes all by herself as others obviously have too & if its putting her off, I bet it it probably is others as I'm seeing less & less kids entering
AIBU to see this as cheating ??
