Creative bakers gathered at the ExCel convention centre at the weekend.
The annual Cake&Bake Show featured cakes of all shapes, sizes and styles.
The theme 'Around the World in Eighty Cakes' - a twist on the Jules Verne novel 'Around the World in Eighty Days' - inspired an international adventure in cake form.
There were elephants from Africa, gods from Egypt, and cigars from Cuba.
There were no height restrictions, entries had to fit within a square base area. But external supports weren't allowed, so cake makers needed to get crafty.
There was also a cupcake competition with the same international theme.
The winner of the main competition was 'Heaven is a cake on Earth' by Becky Graham.
