The calibre of confectionary has gone totally wild at the Show.<\/p>\n
Triple-layered creations and incredible animal replicas have taken the cake at this year\u2019s Melbourne Royal Show\u2019s Art, Craft & Cookery awards.<\/p>\n
Victorian Mary Lee who created and baked an intricate Giraffe cake (picture) said: \u201cAs an amateur cake decorator that grew up in Bendigo, winning the Best in Show award for a second time is a dream come true. <\/p>\n
\u201cAfter seeing giraffes in real life, I set myself the challenge of bringing the idea to life as a cake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Senior Manager Show Competitions Martin Garoni was blown away by the standard of submissions.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a record number of over 3,000 entries in this year\u2019s Melbourne Royal Art, Craft and Cookey competition,\u201d Mr Garoni said<\/p>\n
\u201cThe quality and variety of this year\u2019s exhibits were wonderful, and we\u2019re so glad that we have a dedicated place for all visitors to the Melbourne Royal Show to come and celebrate these incredible works.\u201d<\/p>\n
It comes as Melbourne Royal announced it is offering a new school holiday super saver ticket where adults can attend at children’s\u2019 prices.<\/p>\n
For Thursday and Friday, adults can enter for $27, nearly 50 per cent off.<\/p>\n
Melbourne Royal Show Executive GM Hannah von Bibra said the special release was an opportunity for more people to experience a full day and night and see everything on offer.<\/p>\n
\u201cGetting closer to animals and agriculture, watching blue-ribbon competition and live entertainment \u2026 the Melbourne Royal Show is where country and city come together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to give even more Victorians the chance to come and experience all the fun and create wonderful lifelong memories.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The calibre of confectionary has gone totally wild at the Show.
