A life-size cake of Prince George won the gold award at the Cake International event held at Birmingham’s NEC. The cake, which took 30 hours to create, showed the young prince with the same patterned white shirt he wore for the christening of his sister Princess Charlotte in July.

 

The winner is self-confessed royalist, Lara Mason, who also won the same award last year.

 

Mrs Mason said: "Basically, last year the judges said the cakes were great but being so large they were missing on detail, and the faces in particular.

 

"Those are the most important detail, so I went smaller and thought that I should do the most recognisable child in the world, which is Prince George."

 

Mrs Mason built the cake on skeleton of steel, wood, and PVC tubing. Baked layers of cake were then placed around the skeleton while blocks of modeling chocolate were used to match the prince’s features.
