Awe-inspiring anti-gravity illusion cake

Awe-inspiring anti-gravity illusion cake

The judges were looking for vertically-sculpted cakes that appear to defy gravity and should be decorated in a way that represents a special memory.


Paul Hollywood: "The whole point of an antigravity cake is a top-heavy cake that looks like it is falling or cascading."


Prue Leith: "We want to look at these cakes and think - how did they do that?"

What did we learn from the Showstopper?

Almost every week during a series of The Great British Baking Show ™, it is true that the Showstopper Challenge does not represent anything that a typical baker would ever make at home. Therefore, most often we will not study the baker's dishes (since we'll never want to replicate them) - instead we'll highlight interesting elements of the bakes.
