Beverly Franklin has a knack for creating extravagant cake creations. One of his masterpieces recently won first place in the cake decorating section for the Fashion Themed Cake class at the Wauchope Show. Beverly also took home the most outstanding award for the cake, of all the shows at the show. The 63-year-old moved to Wauchope from Darwin in 2021 as she was attracted to the area’s climate. However, she said the humidity in Wauchope posed a challenge when making the creation. “The frosting kept melting on me and it wouldn’t set,” she said. Fortunately, however, the moisture dissipated just in time for the cake to make its debut at the show. The theme for the cake was steam punk, which Beverly described as a cross between the Victorian and post-industrial eras. Beverly said it was nice to receive recognition for the cake, after working hours every day for a few weeks. Because the details of the cake were so intricate, each piece took several hours to come to fruition. It was Beverly’s first time introducing a cake into a show.
