A challenge to Baroness von Shush! Baroness,
For far too long I have been in your shadow! I have slaved for hours, days, even weeks to uphold my great name in the baking world. Yes, it is true, I turned down lucrative contracts on "Cake Boss" to pursue the fine-art of the perfect bake. Baroness, its time for me to reclaim the crown that is rightfully mine. There can be only one Cake Boss here, so step forward, take up the challenge.....show us your best work.
The masterpiece: A finely crafted buttercake in celebration of my 120th 12th wedding anniversary. Allow me to draw your attention to the finesse with which the lightpink (RGB 255 174 185) butter icing is applied to the sofly textured sponge base. Take note of the beautifully textured ridge icing, specially mixed to achieve that unusual, yet strangely pleasing, bruised-eye plum coloured appearance. This work of art is accentuated by the postbox pillar-red heart, drawn completely free-hand, with love and affection. Finally, the presentation is completed with classic blue print marking this disasterous wonderous occasion (note the finger-smudge for that authentic just-baked feel). | My System Specs |

Aha, a man who wishes to challenge my expert cake making abilities, well I take the challenge and will somewhat raise the bar. You see I too have been holding out on you, yes I can reproduce TV characters and embellish a cake with the fine art of sugar craft flowers, however, you have yet to see my masterpiece. Only a specially hand-picked few have ever been privy to what can only be described as my one off masterpiece. I was astounded by the level of detail and the intricate carving upon the body and the fabulous sculpting that I managed to create. Thus astounding myself with the facial detail and superb, yet moving facial structure! Now that you have questioned my abilities I feel that now the time is right…. I must unleash on the world my most magnificent creation to date, this being RED TED…. Now before I unveil him I have to advise that he is strictly one of a kind. I think you will concur that I will rightfully have my crown once more when you are privy to my artistic nature with modelling, I think you will agree that nobody would ever be able to beat such level of talent and utmost brilliance for which I have created, and I would like to confirm that this has got to be the best piece I have ever made. Therefore, without further ado I give you RED Ted ……… | My System Specs | | |

Baroness,
Its a good effort, but...........who shot RED TED in the stomach? Do I hear a surge of agreement from the forum members that you should be disqualified for inflicting this pain on him?
