ENGLAND(NNT) - Cake designers from Thailand have showcased the extravagant works that helped them win gold awards in the Cake International 2019 competition held in Birmingham, England, which is Europe’s largest cake contest with thousands of competitors from around the world.

 

The Thai contestants this year were supported by Thai Roong Ruang Group, the manufacturer of Lin sugar for cake decoration. The work by the renowned cake designer and sugar crafter Lippakorn Preeyapabulakit named the Queens, tells the story of the British monarch, and won the gold award at 3rd place in Class H: Decorative Exhibit, at the Cake International 2019 contest in Birmingham, UK.

 

The cake caught the attention of observers, contestants, and the media, all of whom praised the extravagant details of the cake, which made headlines in UK media. A queue soon formed among people keen to take photos of the award winning cake.

 

Two other cake designers in Thailand also won gold awards in this competition, namely the Hades World cake by Deshokun Sing-amphai in Class I: Small Decorative Exhibit, which conveys a story of Greek mythology; and the Plubpla Thewalai cake from Varit Chantawichanuwong in Class H: Decorative Exhibit, reflecting Buddhist morality through the art of Thai sculptures.

Well, it was the best.

Cakes in the shops here are pretty awful, don't think I have ever had a good one, especially birthday cakes

Good for them

Lots of artificial cream that for me has a slightly slimy texture to it.

Along with half a pound of sugar!

Shhh.

Prayut will tax the sweetness out of the cake.

Must admit i have struggled to even find a good cake must be export only cakes?

Can't believe I read all that and then there was no picture of the cake ????

Agree, never managed to find one with "normal" cream. We buy ice-cream cakes for birthdays.

Wouldn't it be marvellous if there was some sort of "personal information machine" into which one could type a "search" and have it find what one was looking for?

 

There's a fortune to be made for the person that invents it.

 

(In the meantime that'll be 150 baht please)

Wouldn't it be more marvellouserer if the original story had the picture to save a lot of faffin about.

PS.

Spelling intentional, to save some googling for some. ????

Yes, the one of the few edible not too over priced cakes I have eaten were near the river, not far from Khaosan Road.    They say all the flower was imported from the west.  Taiwan and Hong Kong have better cake for half the price.  Cake flower cannot be cultivated in Thailand ?

Flower?

Plus the benefit of a distinct 'chemical' taste.

Maybe not but cake flour can be found.

We're getting in deep now - is there specifically a 'cake-flour'?

As a kid I can only recall my mum using plain flour and self-raising flour.

Almost the same plain flour has no raising agent but self raising does.

Generally called bread flour and cake flour here.

Thai cake, looks great, tastes like poop.

Come to think about it, that applies to almost everything in Thailand.

Two pages of replies and not a complimentary one on the achievement of this  nice and talented people that the thread is about, Very sad 

Geez you guys are a piece of work. The cake was beautiful that won the contest. For the few here that all they do is complain, do you realize how rediculous you are with the nonsense. Start your own thread about bad cake in Thailand

You can find cake flour in Makro and BigC certainly at IIRC about 38 baht per kg.

Yes, it was a piece of edible art, though not to my taste.  IMHO the success of a cake is in the eating, not the looking ????

Looks more like a funeral urn than a cake, Amor do a half decent birthday one and s&p fruit cake slice is not bad, apart from that poop as mentioned.

There is literally a corner shop that does that but it is 20 km away on the corner of the crossroads by the traffic lights.
