I can't believe what has happened. I entered the cake decorating contest in my county fair. I spent hours making fondant and royal icing flowers and working extra hard to make sure my cake looked just right. Today I go to the fair and notice that they put the wrong tag on my cake, instead of "decorated cake" they put "chocolate cake". The judges ate my cake!!!!!!!!! I find the judges and confront them, they say, "We thought that it was in the wrong catagory, but we have to judge on what's on the tag, it really was a blue ribbon cake, we hope you enter next year." !?!?!?! Can you believe this? If they thought it was in the wrong catagory they couln't have checked the registration form? Would they have checked if they would have cut into the cake and it was spice, yellow, or even styrofoam? The real kicker is, I won 2nd place for chocolate cake!!!!!! I kinda feel bad for the ones in that class since I made my cake from a box!! I literally cried all the way home; all that work down the drain!
Oh Baby Sugar! So so sorry. I also have battle scars from poorly handled competition type things. Smarts.
Just a real shame but congrats on second place--that part's a real hoot though.
isn't that something! 
it's kinda of funny if you can picture these judges eating a well decorated cake... 
they must have felt funny eating it1 !
i'm sorry about what happened...the good thing is...you took second place for your cake in a different category! 
OMG, how horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To err is human

It's such a shame that one person's error caused you so much unhappiness after all your hard work.
Did you take a picture of the cake before the mishap? Maybe you could post it up here and we can all tell you that it's first prize material!!
Sorry that happened, If I were you, I'd consider writing them a letter because that's really a dumb excuse. It would have taken them one minute to double check the entry, especially if it was nice and decorated, and the others were not. Yes, it's human error, but ignorant as well. They should have known better.
How disappointing and upsetting. Sorry this happened to you.
I took one of my cross-stitches to our local fair. They had given me the wrong label to put on it. When I went to hand it to the needlework co-ordinator she said "Sorry that can't go here, it belongs in the cake decorating section."
It was fully framed and in no way resembled a cake.
I should have licked it to show her how daft she was. 
What's funny is she probably wouldn't have clued in anyway
Probably! LOL!!
I still can't get over what happened to you QueenJessica. It's absolute stupidity.
I wouldn't have just cried all the way home.
I would have cried for the rest of the week.
What kind of judges were those, that can't even tell from a decorated cake and one for tasting? OMG so if they put a knitted scarf with a chocolate cake tag on it they would eat it? Don't you feel bad Queen those morons wouldn't know better anyways, cheer up darling!

Couldn't agree more - idiots 
OMG! That's scarry. I'm entering a cake in the KY State Fair this weekend under the Birthday catagory. I'm going home tonight and double check my tag.
I am so sorry Jessica.
They sound like a bunch of real "dooey heads"!!!! as my kids would say. I too would have cried, and I think I would have been so ticked off that I would have said something or even given them another handful of something....It was a county fair right????? 
Here is to better days.
