Royal Show & Giveaway Prize

Last week was one of my favourite events of the year, the Royal Adelaide Show. The show is held annually and runs for 9 days. When I was a kid we use to visit 2 or 3 times a year, now days we go once which is quite enough.

One of my favourite parts of the show is the cooking section, in particular the cake decorating. Heres my favourites from this year...

An ET cake!

Alice in wonderland still seems to be a popular subject for anything at the moment.

A miniture cake, this one was only about as tall as my hand, quite amazing.
I thought this was a really unique cake and I love the blossoms.
And my favourite...
A scene from Alice in wonderland, I cant imagine how many hours this would have taken. Although this didnt look like a cake, more of a scene made out of icing.
In the same hall as the cakes was a collection of wearable blooms, some were on models, others were part of a fashion parade.
This collection was not what I would consider 'wearable', more likely costume attire. Such as the following nastershum dress and head piece. We came across this sandcarstle, a mermaid laying on a dragon, pretty awesome right?

I like walking through the sideshows and rides, but we dont usually take part, just watch :)

Mikeys favourite part of the show is the animals. We thought the alpacas were really cute, and so soft, but they do spit randomly as passers by :)

That was just some of our day at the show, we had lots of fun, even though we didnt stay for the fireworks because we were both cold and tired after 5 or so hours.
