I WON The Big Cake Bake Off!

Entry Date 19/10/2011

Well as you can tell from the title of this post I came first place in the Big Cake Bake Off at work, all thanks to the delicious Chocolate Cheese Cake recipe by Nigella Lawson!
There were 2 categories to win in, 'Best Tasting' and 'Best Presented', Scott's very alcoholic Gateau tied first place with mine for the Best Tasting cake and the chocolate Echidna came in Best Presented. (see pictures below)
The 'Match Sticks' received an honourable mention but didn't come in any place, I must admit I was very nervous when they were brought out for judging; and I was slightly displaced as Match Sticks aren't really a cake per say.
But I was over the moon when they called out my delicious chocolate cheese cake as first place for Best Tasting! And so many people raved about my cake, my chest swelled with pride and my hands shook for at least an hour afterwards from the excitement!

I've never won anything before, so my winning streak starts here!
