Last night's Cake Awards were the first Cake Awards to be televised live for a few years, lending events an edge of danger - literally anything could happen, and if it did you could be sure that ITV would politely dip the sound until it stopped happening.
It's a sad state of affairs when Joss Stone is the doughiest thing at an awards ceremony, but - hey - that's The Cakes. The big winners of The Cake Awards last night were Arctic Rolls, who didn't turn up and Creamy Bakehouse, who turned up, baked a cake, got given an award, sort of didn't understand how to work her microphone and walked off again. And Lily Allen didn't win a single thing. Hooray for TheCake Awards!
The Cake are the UK's answers to The Grannys, but that didn't stop Jamie Cook of Artic Roll slamming the Cake awards:
" TheCakes are just self indulgent Cake industry hacks patting eachother on the back, they don't reflect the people and their love of real cake. The completely neglect any bakery outside the mainstream like the teacake or the buncake.'
Here's a full list of last night's Cake Awards winners:
Best Cake: Coffee and Walnut
