Here we go: Registration for the 13th Zuckerbäcker Award has started. The delicious exhibits of the most talented confectioners and apprentices in the country will be displayed and evaluated live at the 120th ZuckerBäckerball in the foyer of the Hofburg.

The most talented confectioners and apprentices in the country can once more show their impressive craftsmanship at the ZuckerBäckerball. Their artistic cakes were on display at the ball during the big cake show of the "Zuckerbäcker Awards" in the foyer of the Hofburg - a highlight that is very popular with the guests of the ZuckerBäckerball. Stomachs started to rumble when the guests marvelled at the appetising and spectacular finale of the cake competition.

The following main criteria are laid down as the basis for the jury's assessment:

Adherence to the invitation to tender
creativity (artistic implementation)
processing of the materials
implementation of the motto
level of difficulty of the showpiece

Their magnificent cakes will be displayed at the ball, examined, tasted and rated by a jury.
