2011 Cake Show: Children Division
Children (6 years and under): One category – not divided by style. Children may have an adult assist with baking the cake. Each child must ice and decorate their own entry.
I truly enjoy seeing cakes decorated by kids. No one expects perfection and there’s no judging, so it’s mostly for fun.
As in most of the divisions and categories, I did not photograph every entry. These are ones I liked or that caught my eye for some reason.
