My first Damper Comp 2025 was a hit 🤩 didn’t get the big win but still walked away with 3rd place and I’m pretty smitten about that. It’s not everyday you get your Pumpkin Damper judged by Troy Cassar-Daley 🤩🙌🏾
Congratulations to the Winners 🥇 Amanda Barlow and 🥈 Patricia Banu (apologies if I’ve mispelt your names) I tasted your dampers and they were so worthy of those placings 🤩👌🏾🎉
As nerve-racking as this was, I thoroughly enjoyed this Comp. I walked away with not just 3rd place & my beautiful Prizes but lil notes of gratitude:
- Grateful for my Beautiful Daughter for being my lil helper today and hype-girl 🫶🏾😘
- Not having my partner today, made me appreciate how much he does for me, I may do most of the cooking but having him setup/help with prep goes along way so very fortunate for him 🥰😘
- Self-Reminder, Not to hold back with my creative culinary ideas, ALWAYS back myself, especially when that doubt kicks in! New is Good!
- & Lastly, Grateful for my food to be tasted by such an admirational Judge Panel 🙌🏾🤩
Esso (thank you) Logan District Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Corporation for Elders for this amazing opportunity, I can’t wait for next year’s comp, I’ll be bringing my A-Game 🥰🏆👩🏽🍳
