So today and tomorrow are the big delivery days!  I’ve just spent an hour dropping off my five entries!  Five I know I am absolutely nuts, can’t believe I managed to get them all done… well one is a recycled entry from Challenge I figured I already paid the entry fee so what the heck.  The stewards there are just so lovely, they went and got me a trolley and the lady who helped me place my entries was ever-so patient as I fiddled with tags and fixing some minor issues, it really helped keep me calmer as I did it.  I mean it is already a nerve wrecking experience, to have the steward, calm, friendly, helpful, and offering kind platitudes helps so immensely!

Funnily enough I had exactly the same feeling I did when I dropped off my entries last year, I wanted to pack all mine up and take them home I don’t know if that bodes well for the fact that I did indeed take home two ribbons last year, but I go in with no expectations.  I am happy with all my ideas, would have loved more time to tidy up some of the execution and sure that will be reflected in the feedback, but I’m proud of the effort, better to have caked and lost than to never have caked at all!

So I am calling all cake friends who are entering as well.  I am attending the preview evening on April 7th.  Are you going too?  Contact me if you are so we can say hi!  Not going but want to know your results?  I happily called a cake friend last year direct from the preview evening so if you’d like to email me your mobile, or want the results emailed to you when I get home, then let me know what categories you entered so I can look out for your name.

Like last year I’ll be taking a load of pictures and will post a link to them as soon as they are up.

Good luck to everyone who entered!
