The International Dairy•Deli•Bakery Association’s (IDDBA) 18th annual Cake Decorating Challenge will be a featured event at the annual Dairy-Deli-Bake Seminar and Expo, to be held June 2-4, 2013, in Orlando, Fla. Three store-level decorators will have the opportunity to create show-stopping displays that promote their artistic abilities and show off the talent and hard work that sells cakes for their companies.
Judges are looking for decorators with skills in three areas: production cakes, theme cakes and wedding cakes. On the first day, contestants will be required to create enough production cakes to fill an 8-ft. bakery case. The second day will be devoted to the creation of a custom-design wedding cake. On the last day, contestants will decorate three cakes of their choosing, one from each category: special occasion, theme/event and decorator’s choice.
