Big claps all around! This is simply stunning!

I've been waiting for someone to start a thread about the show...

Congratz! I LOVED the cake. I starred at it for a few minuets, then took a bunch of up close pictures so I could figure out how you made it later. Thanks for explaining the process. Beautiful

What a wonderful cake!!! congrats!!

I just saw your photo on Cakewrecks --- it must be such a thrill to find yourself on that site for a GOOD reason!

You look very cute in the pic, and your cake looks marvelous.

Congratulations again!

Beautiful! Thanks so much for the how-to and congrats on your win! Such a beautiful cake and a fantastic design!

Your cakes are beautiful - very deserving of the win!

Congratulations! Your work is absolutely splendid. Thank you for sharing your techniques as well. Good luck next year as I am sure you are planning your entry for the next show.

Oh, that is wonderful! Your cake couldn't have been more perfect.

"Can you believe she's not even a professional?"

What a beautiful cake, congratulations. And also thanks for shering your technique!

Thanks again everyone! It was so awesome to be featured on Cake Wrecks too! This experience has really helped boost my cake confidence. =0) Now if only I could find a job that would actually pay me to do this.... maybe someday.

This will sound dumb~ but what is the difference between
First place and Best in Show? This is a higher honor, right?

Best in Show took home the money honey!! Lol...that wasn't very helpful, I think someone else needs to clarify it for us!

Well, congratulations ~ it's a beautiful cake.

Well, the way I understand it, Brea's cake was awarded the highest honor, as far as awards go. There were also divisions, like Specialty Wedding, Professional, Tiered, non-tiered, Junior, etc. Those divisions each had their own awards. But, Brea's cake was the top dog that day!

WOW! That is amazing!!! Your reward is well deserved!! I love the poem too!! Great job!!

To clarify the awards-
There were 7 divisions -pro, semi pro, advanced,intermediate, amateur, teen and junior.

There are 4 categories within each division- tiered, non tiered, novelty and non cake.

Each division had a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medal winner.

Within each division, a certificate for first place only was awarded in each category.

Best of Show is the overall winner for every entry in the entire show.

So Breanna won 1st place in the advanced division, 1st place in the tiered cake category in that division and Best of Show. How cool is that?!?!

Your cake is SO beautiful! I saw it on Cake Wrecks when Jen was showing it off and wanted to know how you did those tutu layers! Now I know!

Congrats on your win!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous cake.

I'm in awe.

Congrats- You did an awesome job on that TUTU!

Congrats- You did an awesome job on that TUTU!

Just to reclarify- The Best of Show winner was chosen by the judges from the 1st place winners in each division, excluding the Specialty Wedding Cake competition. It's not based on points, but rather the judges own opinions.
