Sometimes I look at blogs and websites of professional bakers and wish that I had the patience and skill to create cakes like these
Right. Now stop slobbering and pay attention.
You have the opportunity right here and now to WIN some Kitschnbake goodies.
Very easily. All you have to do is join in our KateAndWillSmug competition.
Regular readers of my blog will know that I have a strange and not quite serious fascination with the Royal Wedding Tat, of the sort that features on the Royal Wedding Tat website. Some of you have already joined in the fun.
Now it gets serious. With the prize now being some wonderful goodies from Kitschnbake, which will be sent to the winner in time for the Royal Wedding Garden party. Mary-Jane has sourced some wonderful regal cake toppers especially for the competition and has designed Kitschnbake Royal Wedding Cake Souvenirs.
The Rules of the KateAndWillSmug Competition are as follows:
1. Buy (or make) an item of Royal Wedding Tat
2. Display it in your home.
3. Points will be awarded for the following:
- guest noticing the Royal Weddding Tat - 1 point
- guest expressing surprise - 1 point
- guest expressing horror - 1 point
- guest using profanity to express surprise and/or horror - 2 points
- guest laughing hysterically - 2 points
- guest admiring Royal Wedding Tat - 5 points
- guest requesting where the item of Royal Wedding Tat was purchased, in order to buy one - 10 points
Special award of pointage at the discretion of the judges (MmeLindt and Kitschnbake) for particularly tacky or large expression of Royal Wedding admiration. Such as this lifesized cardboard cut out:
Or if you are known to be a staunch anti-Royalist. Or for arranging the Royal Wedding Tat amongst particularly tasteful items in your home, such as between your Catherine Kidson or Nigella Lawson bakeware.
Judges decisions are final. If no one takes part, the cakes shall be consumed by the Judges themselves.
Leave a comment below or tweet me - @kateandwillsmug and I will add you to the spreadsheet. When a visitor comments on your Royal Wedding Tat, let me know and I will update your score.
Let the battle commence.

Look what arrived, just in time for the KateandWillSmug competition. [bling]
- Thanks Mum, for the postal service.
Quite brilliant. I applaud you both. I'll have to win my Kitschnbake goodies another way though as the display of royal tat in West Cork, the place where the Irish war of independence was fought most fiercely, would not end well. I have some pope tat though: a rather marvellous Benedictaphone sent to me by a Mumsnetter I know.
ReplyDeleteOh, I am rather jealous of your Benedictaphone. I brought back an fabulously kitsch model of the Colluseum when we were in Rome. And I have Rosary Beads that were blessed by none other than John Paul himself. Husband got a keyring. Can't help thinking that he got a slightly better deal.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Kitschbake and I could do another competition later this year, so you could win some incredible cakey bakery.
I will be entering and will also be icluding pictures of my very tacky royal wedding afternoon tea. Do I get extra points for the fact that I live in Northern Ireland and the flying of flags is a contentious issue?
ReplyDeletei love love Prince William and Kate they look so beutiful together- i met Prince William when he came to Australia- I asked him for a photo with him which he sweetly agreed -i have made my face book page with the photo- I have entered every competition to win a ticket to his wedding I am praying i get a chance.
ReplyDeleteDrum roll.... You have a won an award!! Sorry no cash prize. I'm passing the LIEBSTER award on to you, if you'd like to take a wee look on my page hope you don't mind!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much, will investigate how to do this in a moment. Yes, extra points for possible bodily harm being caused by the displaying of RW tat.

Thank you for your comment. How exciting that you met Prince William. I hope that you win a competition, and if not you can always do a lovely garden party to celebrate. Get that bunting out!
"Right. Now stop slobbering and pay attention."...
ReplyDelete... wait, what... we're supposed to pay attention after all that cake?!! Pfft.
