Under 12s may enter this class, but will be judged equally with other entrants.
Intermediate entrants must make a 3 or more layer cake of their choosing, keeping within the Jubilee theme for decorations. Victoria Sandwiches are allowed, as long as they are 3 or more tiers. Over 12s may enter this class, but will be judged equally with others in this class.
