Together with Gourdo’s and Avoset, Goldilocks was able to set the stage for the Goldilocks Cake Battle 2019 as they provided the materials and ingredients for each team to use in the competition. Many teams from Culinary schools, universities and college all over the Philippines showed off their skills in decorating cakes, ranging from elegant to out of this world design. With so much talent who participated this year, the competition was really intense.
