This week cake club became embroiled in scandal…
So it’s week four and the competition is going from strength to strength; the standard is at an all time high.
Enter the next two combatants Andy CEO and Casey Marketing Manager. Both were reluctant competitors; Andy “didn’t have time” and Casey “can only cook Zuccini loaf” , whatever that is!
Anyway, the big day arrived -Monday 7th December- and as I entered the Cake Club tasting arena I was confronted by two similar cakes… Too similar as it turned out…
The cakes tasted the same: Both Victoria sponges and both decorated with fruit and white chocolate the only difference was that one of them had chocolate icing in the middle.
We judged the cakes and Casey was voted the winner by 8 votes to 7.
Then it all started to unravel and I realised that there was something wrong. After careful investigation I was forced to send this email to the cake clubbers:
Dear Cake Clubbers
It is with great sadness that I type this email. Indeed it is an email I never thought I would have to write…
It has come to my attention that there has been some foul play. I hate to say it but actual blatant cheating has taken place…
Last Monday Andy and Casey battled it out, with two very similar cakes (too similar it turns out) it was our tightest competition yet, Andy received 6 votes and Casey received 7…… Casey was crowned the winner and was through to the quarter finals against Jana.
Well cake clubbers I am very sorry to have to reveal that Casey & Andy colluded and Andy in fact baked the cakes and Casey iced them breaking rule 1 of cake club which states:
1. It must be a cake YOU have made not bought and not by anyone else
This behaviour will not be tolerated so I have no alternative but to disqualify Casey from the competition.
So we now have a space in the quarter finals, so I would like to ask you to please vote for one our excellent runners up whom all made their own cakes to go through to the next round: Alena, Neil or Aurelie.
L.R.
Finally, it was agreed that Andy and Casey could remain in Cake Club but will not be able to take part in any further heats, so I am delighted to announce that Aurelie will now compete in the quarter finals and will meet Louise on 11th January 2009.
