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.

tis here

Not sure I can face another drubbing to be honest. Confidence at an all time low. Thinking of ditching all baking equipment and only ever making soup from now on.

just to say i haven't been sulking in silence, but actually doing some work! congrats to winners. i may have got nothing, but people at work have been begging me to bring in cake, so i still feel loved.
right, on to cup cakes!

congratulations to you all. You are fab

CONGRATULATIONS GIRLS. Well & truly deserved!!!!

I am trying to contact the winners to get their addys to send super de douper rosettes to them.

I have managed to contact Slub & Mommyupnorth but I am having a problem contacting Grooveisintheheart.... anyone????????????

Gasp! A Rosette of Merit!

Thank you judges! And many congrats to Slubber, whose presentation and sifting from a height was one of the funniest things I've seen in ages!

OH MY GOD

I Won!

yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,

and twirl and twirl and star jump

and handstand up against the wall.

Oh I never won a red rosette in my life, didn't even pass my cycling proficiency so this is an exteremely wonderful moment.

I'm going to go and have a little moment (with green wimbledon towel over my head) and then come back with thanks to all who helped me achieve this most coveted of awards.

omwards and upwards eh, slubber? next stop real life show!!

groove can be contacted via CAT through me

OK, I have my badly fitting pink silk dress on now, and am ready to proceed.

Thank you first to UCM for organising this competition, and making the beautiful rosettes, and to MrsCake for judging (and what a fine judge you made if I may be so bold).

From the original VSC thread I would like to mention Chippy who recommended the Hugh FW recipe, and to SMS who advised on McDougals supreme sponge flour. And to all the ladies who encouraged the use of ingredients at room temperature. And of course the 'high sift'.

I, I..

I would not have got to where I am today without the high sift.

You know ladies, this is by far the silliest thing I have done in quite some time. God it was fun

now where's this cup cake thread then.......

Congratulations Sluber... Well done, the high sift cracked it!!

Soapbox, I'm rather appalled and saddened that you think I would buy a cake and pass it off as my own, I really did make the cake all by myself, you must obviously be very jealousof my cake making skills!!!

Onto next competition, to prove myself as worthy winner!!

UCM have CAT you on Groove's behalf

Slub, check yer email luv

UCM, do I need to do the CAT business?

have just checked my bulk e-mails, thought this one might be you (entitled 'from Victoria')

"EVER DREAM OF MIND-BLOWING LOVE-MAKING THAT NEVER FAIL TO SATISFY?

Well, you don't need to dream anymore. At last there is a solution to
all
your bedroom setbacks. The Vibrating Ring is the latest toy taking the
world
by storm. It's fun, safe, easy-to-use, and it's available now."

So that's not you then UCM, unless the vibrating ring is a prize in addition to the wonderful rosette.

Well I thought you might like it as you got kinky with a sieve

you could just email me your addy on sarah6151 at blueyonder dot co dot uk.

And YES you have to have the bloody rosette. Took me ages

of course I want the rosette.

I LOVE the rosette.

It's the most beautiful prize I have ever been awarded.

Will try to e-mail you now

done

WELL DONE Slubberdegullion, you were my winner too Of course if I had managed to get some butter I would have given you a run for your money ;)

Oh fantastic, congratulations Slubberdegullion! You really deserve it, you showed true dedication to the art of baking! Well done to MommyUpNorth and GrooveisinTheHeart too I think it's all splendid!

MrsFish, get some butter and join the cupcake comp.

I have been shopping today and have all the ingredients, have spent the afternoon making lemon drizzle cake :lick::yumyum:

My word this has been fun....Congrates to the VSC royal family - Slubs, MUN and Groovey.

Was just talking last week about getting a cupcake tray and baking lucnhbox cakes rather than buying mini-rolls all the time...sadly I think it might just tip DP over the edge

Surely you all have to namechange to your new titles.

Yeah I have just realised I could have been SMSpongecake...a bit late now
