Woman runner-up in one-horse race

[n5gooner]

A grandmother won second prize in a cake-baking contest at a fete, only to discover she was the only entrant.

Jenny Brown, 62, entered her Victoria Sponge into the competition and was initially pleased to have come second.

But she was left shocked when a friend revealed to her that she was the only person to take part. The contest was organised by the Wimblington Sports Committee and judges marked down the cake because it had indentations from the oven rack.

She said her own baking was subject to another strange decision.

"About 11 years ago I entered a show with some fruit scones. I was the only entrant but I came third."

Her cooking must be truly awful

Is cake-making a sport then ?

I baked a cake yesterday. It was a lovely big Chocolate Fudge Cake. Can't eat it though.
