The highly anticipated Cake Masters Magazine Awards in association with Cake International is an evening dedicated to recognising and celebrating the hard work and dedication of those involved in the cake decorating and sugarcraft industry. As the first event of its kind and now in its third year, tickets have become highly sought after and, this year, sold out in record time.
Back for the third year running, we welcomed to the stage our compères for the evening, Rose Dummer AKA Rosie Cake-Diva, joined for the first time by our 2015 Cake Hero Award winner, Mike McCarey of Mike’s Amazing Cakes! To present the awards, we had big names such as Chef Nicholas Lodge, Marina Sousa and Will Torrent come up on stage to unveil the night’s winners.
Following all of your nominations, our winners were decided upon by our expert panel of judges who had the impossible task of choosing between such a high standard of finalists. We would like to thank Julia M. Usher, Kaysie Lackey, Carlos Lischetti, Mike McCarey, Eddie Spence MBE, Karen Portaleo, Verusca Walker, Zoë Clark, Alan Dunn, Lindy Smith, Marina Sousa, Chef Nicholas Lodge and Peggy Porschen for making these tough choices!
The Cake Masters Magazine Awards 2016 was a truly wonderful evening and we would like to thank everyone who attended and made the event so enjoyable. A special thanks goes to our sponsors: The Cake Decorating Company, Wilton, Innovative Sugarworks, Silikomart, Rainbow Dust, Fondarific, Magic Colours, Renshaw, CakeFrame, Cake Stuff and Satin Ice. We are already looking forward to next year!
