Show us your dream wedding dress with this wedding cake. The wedding dress represents elegance and beauty and should emphasize the bride's uniqueness. Enchant us with different cuts and styles. Think about different fabrics, patterns, and elements. Each tier can represent a different part of the dress – from the bodice and waist to the full skirt. Be inspired by the diverse dress styles: from the romantic princess dress with a full tulle skirt to the elegant A-line and the modern fit-and-flare silhouette. A minimum of three tiers is required. The individual tiers must be clearly visible and covered with an edible material. The tiers must be classic round, square, or rectangular. Internal supports are permitted for your decorations. For sugar flowers and wafer paper flowers, paper-covered floral wire, artificial stamens, cones/balls, and florist's tape are permitted. Base area: max. 60 x 60 cm. Dummies permitted.

Imagine the big city is a vast, living jungle, where buildings rise into the sky like ancient trees. The streets are narrow paths that wind through the green canopy of neon lights and colorful signs.

Home means security, connection, and memories. It is the region, country, or city where they grew up. But home isn't just the past. It evolves with you. New people, experiences, and places can become a part of your home over time. Especially in a globalized world where many people move or experience multiple cultures, home can have multiple meanings. Home doesn't mean stagnation, but rather a place you can take anywhere, as long as you feel accepted and a piece of your own history resonates with it. Take us on a journey to your homeland, show us typical traditions, the culture, special places, or even the way of life. The cake must have at least two visibly stacked tiers. Any edible medium can be used. Your chosen motif must be painted by hand or airbrush directly onto the cake. Alternatively, you can paint on a fondant topper, which is applied to the cake.

A variety of techniques can be used and combined, such as bas-relief, quilling, mosaic, painting on fondant, royal icing, 2D modeling, etc. The 2D structure, including the base plate, must not exceed a depth of 5 cm (total height).
