That
Takes the Cake!
That
Takes the Cake is a sugar art show and competition held every
year in Austin, Texas the 2nd weekend after Valentine's
Day. The weekend event includes judged competitions,
on-site Food Network Challenge style mini competitions, hands-on
classes, vendors offering hard to find decorating tools and
supplies, and showcase demonstrations
conducted by some of the most celebrated chefs in the world
of sugar arts and cake decorating. The show attracts cake
enthusiasts from all over the country and decorators of all
skill levels participate. The divisional competition
is divided by skill level - beginners to masters and by types
of cake - sculpted, wedding, novelty, etc. We encourage
young decorators and have special kids, junior, teen and culinary
student categories and have events throughout the weekend
specifically for kids. Each year there is a Showcake
Competition with spectacular cake entries that must meet certain
height and size requirements and represent a specific theme.
It is fun and inspiring to see all of the truly amazing works
of edible art on display at the Show. Capital Confectioners
Cake Club, is the show's organizer and Make it Sweet is a big sponsor.
More information can be found at That Takes the Cake.
