Please remember that no matter whether it is for competition or an order, you are working with food, and as such, may be

consumed. Strict regulations apply with all food preparation, and we must all adhere to these rules. There are some elaborate structures on the web that look truly amazing, but how safe are they really?

 

Entering a competition can be really rewarding, and sometimes the greatest challenge is to transform your idea into a reality and still keep within the rules.

I look forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations, but if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Sue Lapworth,

Chief Steward.
