My entry in a (cancelled) cooking contest

I was so excited when I found out a local farmer's market was having a cooking contest to go along with their annual strawberry festival. I eagerly entered in the baked goods category and spent an afternoon doing a practice run of my creation, strawberry layer cake with cream cheese icing. The next day, I went all over town visiting friends and sharing my creation and getting feedback. I am dissappointed the contest was cancelled but I know if the opportunity EVER presents itself again, this showstopper is a surefire entry.

Decorated with fresh strawberries....


...brushed with aa glaze to make it shine


Finished!


Plated...!
