Victoria Sponge Cake competition

[UCM]

Who wants to enter here please. This will be fab. Now we have to find some judges. I think we should put thread in chat and ask someone to judge based on their credentials Obviously they will be only looking at a pic not tasting. We need rules as well??? Good idea or not.

KAA I will.

No, the sweet peas haven't been prey to insect attack, but there do seem to be a lot of ladybirds around and there are a lot of birds in the garden, so natural predators may be keeping them off.

Mrs T, just because you didn't mention your 'product' there, don't think I'm sleeping on the job.

Trying to throw me off track with ladybirds, oh I don't think so.

I also make a damn fine chutney with my gooseberries.

But that wou;ld def break the rules in a VSC

damn, got my too late in there

Is closing time midnight? When is the judging? (just checking I can have an hour or two of VSC porn in the morning at work before I find out the result)

oh HELL i was just appearing for first time since ysterday as ds ill. and he has started to cry. [sobs]

[smooths apron, tucks hair behind ears, necks wine]

this is fierce competition, i am jolly proud of mine. (produced to soundtrack of Any Answers) i will be distraught if no placement. Mrs Cake are you limbering up? are you bribable?

yes - when will the pronouncement be made? not that i'm exactly holding my breath, although MUCH happer with the 'oudoor' cake.
won't be able to get on comp much tomorrow so may have to wait ALL DAY to find out the results. Will someone do a 'winners gallery'?

(Don't go , name change and just do cake threads for a while....hell there's a cup cake comp in the offing already!)

The tension is mounting, result time must be nigh? Do we need to stand shoulders back in a clean pinny at a designated time?

Yes tis midnight SMS, just getting organised - have i time to make another - i still have 11 eggs and half a pot of jam left

MummyUpNorth what recipe did you use? Your rise is admirable (oo er missus)
