| Kibibi Designs @kibibidesigns http://www.kibibidesigns.co.uk/ "Ahh a woman after my own heart - just a cream topping rather than all round the sides. Love the rustic style of this cake and for me the exposed sides give extra "mmm" factor." |

| KW @KasariW http://soup-tuesday.blogspot.com/ "A very neat cake, perhaps could do with a bit more filling but then again I am a 'more is more' kind of person! A good, precise bake." |

| Lynda Willims @lillynd_design http://www.lillynd.co.uk/ "This cake is like a work of art - how long did it take you to place that orange peel so perfectly on top?! Lovely tall cake with beautifully even filling and covering." |

| Paul J White @Tarb2010 http://pjveggie.blogspot.com/ "These cakes just get better as I go along. Paul this cake just shouts "EAT ME!", I love how the cream in the middle is trying to escape and you've slathered the top with plenty more." |

| Sadia @bakingelements http://www.bakingelements.com/ "A beautiful version of Mary's cake, this could be served up in a posh coffee shop or bakery. Perfectly even layers, exposed sides and neat, pecanned topping all make for an irresistable looking cake." |
 |
| Sue Ryan @susiephonic http://www.foldintheflour.blogspot.com/ "A good, even bake on the sponge along with a geneous helping of cream filliing and topping make for a handsome attempt. Although you called it a disaster, I rather like the 'reservoir' of cream in the middle - it gives the cake character!!" |

| Alison McKenzie @hungrysquirrels hungrysquirrelcakes.wordpress.com "Alison you never fail to impress me, your attention to detail when decorating a cake is second to none and this is no exception. I love the piping on top and - I know I keep going on about it - but I really love the fact you can see the sides. A healthy filling compliments the evenly baked sponge, a lovely cake." |

| Nadine Beaton @nadinebeaton "This is the cutest cake of the bunch, it looks like it's wearing a snuggly chenile jumper! Love the generous covering of orange peel, I can imagine the citrus hit balanced the sweet maple flavour beautifully." THE VERDICT Oh my goodness, I really bit off more than I could chew with this lot - what a fabulous collection of cakes! I would like to apologise to all my wonderful judges of bake-offs gone by for putting them through such a difficult task - I have really struggled to decide on a winner. That's not to say my winner does not completely deserve the title. The cake I have chosen stood out to me as the most perfect - equal layers, great cake to cream ratio and what wonderful orange peel to finish. It also is a spot on interpretation of the recipe, and for all of those reasons - congratulations Lynda Williams |
