The taster's choice award went to Tameka Bailey for her gorgeous Black Forrest Gateaux, while Margaret Van Nunen's amazing White Chocolate and Berry Cheesecake took out runner-up.

Celebrity judge Michael Ness from Capricornia College awarded his prize to Narelle Stubbins for her delicious and beautifully displayed peach blossoms.

The bakeoff raised over $400 for this year's Relay for Life fundraiser, with CQUniversity staffers paying $2 a vote for their favourite piece.

All the recipes will now be compiled in the Chefs R US Relay for Life Cookbook which will be on sale soon for $15. Contact Denyse Hill (d.m.hill@cqu.edu.au) to reserve your copy.
