All the cakes assigned to be decorated per category will already be pre-covered. Each Team will have the same set of materials and tools to create their masterpieces. Every Team will start at the same time and when the time is over, whether one is finished or not, they will have to step back from their working table. It is going to be so exciting and so much fun!
We are going to test you to your limits and we are not going to make it easy!

All Competitors will decorate a DUMMY CAKE (EXCEPT Sculpted Cake and Hyper-realistic Cake Categories) which they will have to bring already covered in ONLY PLAIN WHITE fondant. If using white as final cover, no need to cover again during competition. If final cover is different colour, competitors will need to cover the dummies again during competition.
For Buttercream Category, competitors must bring their dummies WITHOUT any cover as they will need to cover them with buttercream during competition.
