Ok this is going to be a stupid question but I really need to ask. I am thinking about entering my first recipe contest. It is a chocolate cake recipe contest and you need to send in the ingredients list and instructions.
Would this recipe also include the icing recipe? Or is it just the cake recipe? It will only be judged on taste.
In order to ice the cake I would need to provide a separate icing recipe. That is where I have confused myself because who eats chocolate cake with out chocolate icing.

Thanks

I would think that a contest would expect a completely finished cake..meaning cake, icing, filling ect. If that is what your cake calls for. Then there are some delicious cakes that need no filling or icing...
