JUDGES JUDGE HERE

[tezuka_k]

Looking thoughtfully from one slice of cake to the other Tezuka takes notes then turns each plate until he is satisfied with having seen the cakes from every side. Only then does he trade his pen for a fork and breaks off the first piece of the left hand side cake.

Bringing it up he inhales the subtle scent of the strawberries before slipping the delectable morsel between thin lips, already parted in anticipation. Lashes sliding shut at the first tart explosion of strawberry across his pallet he savours that bite. Conscientiously cataloging the different textures and nuanced flavours he only picks up his pen to note down his observations when the last lingering trace of the cake clinging to his lips has been hunted down by the agile tip of his tongue darting out to whisk across them.

It was like something out of a variety show to see the extremely serious tennis player turn his intense focus to cake. While Tezuka took his time examining the cakes from every angle, Zaizen took a killer photo of the stunning cakes for instagram. Only when the photo was perfect did he sample each cake. With each delicate bite, he was careful to contain every unique element and preserve the perfect cake-to-frosting ratio as the bakers intended.

"Actually," Zaizen commented, more to himself than Tezuka. "They complement well."

Glancing over at his fellow judge Tezuka considered the point that had been raised. Of course both cakes featured strawberries, honestly the main reason why he had volunteered to judge, but each cake had its own approach to supporting and offsetting that fresh taste. That these two had succeeded not only in making their version but also in creating something that worked well as a counterpoint to their opponents cake was a sign of the bakers skills and certainly to be marked. It didn’t really lend itself to determining a winner however. Since both cakes were well made it might come down to a simple question of personal preference, as much as he disliked that idea. Maybe offering to judge a bake off had been a little careless after all.
