According to visir.is, in the competition contestants hand in their ready-made cakes which the judges taste and evaluate and give points for tastiness, look and the likelihood that they will be generally enjoyed by consumers.
There was a total of 16 entries this year. The winning entry is a combination of many layers, including a French biscuit layer, skyr soufflé, raspberry purée and an almond layer. The cake is covered with white chocolate and decorated with macaroons.
