MECHANICS

You Themes will be given to the respective competitors 1 month before the competition date so they can plan and prepare. The actual theme to be used in a specific category will be announced on the day of the competition.

Our Sponsor Category, will provide each team 5kgs of white ready to use marshmallow fondant and competitors cannot use any other brands other than what is provided. Competitors can bring a small amount of deep pre-colored fondant of their color choices or prepare 30mins before the battle in the arena.

Competitors should bring all the tools and equipment they need to decorate their cake. The tables will be provided per team, an electrical socket and one microwave oven to share.

All competitors for Buttercream Category should bring their own buttercream. Any form of frosting is allowed. American, Swiss Meringue, Italian Merian, Korean, beanpaste, whipped cream, etc. Make sure you bring enough buttercream to cover and decorate 2-tier cakes assigned in all categories. If you need to bring bowls, food colours, spatula, etc., make sure you bring them too. All decorations should be purely buttercream only. No other edible medium is allowed to accentuate your cakes.

For all Team of 3 Categories, size of the DUMMY CAKE will be: (bottom) 8in diameter by 8in tall. Top tier will be 6in diameter by 6in tall DUMMY/STYROFOAM CAKE. Standard size of the board to use in all categories is 12in x 12in either round or square. All of which, the Competitors should provide.

Make sure to be on time. Late competitors or incomplete team may not be allowed to compete and may  be disqualified. All Competitors should also wear chef’s uniform. They do not have to be matching.

All competitors should clean their workspace after the competition. Competitors are responsible for all the tools and equipments they will bring. Organizers will not be liable for any loss.

All Competitors will decorate a DUMMY CAKE (EXCEPT Sculpted Cake and Hyper-realistic Cake Categories) which they will have to bring already covered in ONLY PLAIN WHITE fondant. If using white as final cover, no need to cover again during competition. If final cover is different colour, competitors will need to cover the dummies again during competition.

For Buttercream Category, competitors must bring their dummies WITHOUT any cover as they will need to cover them with buttercream during competition.

For Sculpted Cake and Hyper-realistic Cake Categories, competitors must bring all the cakes, structures, rice crispies/dummies (for support), etc. required for their design.

Cake and all elements of design should fit in 12inx12in cake board. No height restriction.

Altering the size and shape of the dummy cakes is strictly not allowed. This is a non-tasted competition. ALL elements of the cake must fit inside the allowed space.

No chaperones/assistants allowed. An interpreter can be allowed at International Category but only the main competitors can work on the cakes.

Decorations must be strictly fondant only (except in Buttercream Category). Painting or air-brushing on fondant is allowed. You may bring royal icing but it will be for glueing purpose only. No sprinkles, dragees, gold leaf, wafer paper or any other edible medium are allowed. Use of moulds is allowed but highly discouraged as this does not show decorating skills.

In case a competitor encounters any accident while the competition is ongoing, he/she must step out of the cake arena but team members left can still continue until the time is done.

Teams can come to the Cake Arena 15mins minutes before their scheduled competition to prepare the fondant they will use for their entry.

Each Team from ANY category must bring EXTRA set of dummy cakes: bottom- 8in diameter by 8in high and top: 6in diameter and 6in high on a cake board/drum of any size in case your Team will be at the Top 4 Winners who will be competing for the grand finals to earn the title of Overall Cake Wars Champion on February 27, 2026
