While making our way around the show, we were treated to seeing many cakes being created live as the attendees milled around them. It was truly amazing to be able to watch talented artists such as Karen Portaleo, Daniel Dieguez, Nathasja Flapper, Carla Puig, Emma Stewart, and Phil Jenson create stun- ning pieces of edible art right in front of our eyes. The show itself was crammed with new and innovative products, and many of the world’s most famous cake artists made themselves avail- able at stands throughout the NEC. Demonstrations were held in three theatres, and attendees also had the option of attend- ing full and half day classes. Other breathtaking exhibits included a life-size wedding dress and a highly emotive war horse display by Emma Jayne. A variety of collaborations were also exhibited, including The Magical Dragon Machine, a towering smoke-blowing dragon that moved; a group of Snow White-themed pieces entitled That Grimm Obsession; and the Caketastics’ interpretation of world issues.
