The PedalBox Cake Off
#BunIsBetterThanGood
Cake Off came about during the PedalBox 4th birthday stream in October 2021 and the 'rules'' developed as we went on, along with the logo. The rules are fairly simple. Make or decorate a cake with a car or automotive theme. It doesn't have to be a cake, brownies cookies, cup cakes, gingerbread, even bread! You get the idea... Have cake, enjoy cake, and overall: Have Fun!
​
We'll announce the winners LIVE on a PedalBox stream December 18th
where Ade, Chris, Lawrie and Matt attempt to make a fully gingerbread car.
​
Competition Entry
Between December 1st and 6pm December 18th, post a picture to Instagram and mention @pedalboxshow with the tag #BunIsBetterThanGood as well as @lawries_mechanical_marvels.
​
Judging
We'll sort all the entries and announce a winner from the shortlist on December 18th on a live stream, with Lawrie and Matt from Lawrie's Mechanical Marvels where we will attempt to make a cake of our own, live!
​
Prizes
What will the winner get? We're putting together a bundle of merch to split between first, second and third from the three judging channel's stores, PedalBox and Lawries Mechanical Marvels.
