Cake Decoration

Cake Decoration is the artistic creation of themed compositions using a dummy cake as the base. Competitors are expected to design and produce decorative elements, including chocolate icing and other embellishments, in accordance with a given theme. The task includes the preparation of materials, execution of decoration techniques, and final presentation. Competitors must also manage their time effectively to include both setup and workplace clean-up within the allocated time. Creativity, precision, and attention to detail are essential to deliver a visually striking and well-executed cake design.
