rooster59 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Thai cake makers win gold awards at UK Cake International 2019 contest Tanakorn Sangiam 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. -- © Copyright NNT 2019-11-10 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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 ?

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.

Orton Rd Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
