She's not unlucky, just a really bad cook, still at least she isn't bitter
"I definitely wasn't annoyed about it."

People enjoyed the cake, so I don't think her cooking is so bad!

judges marked down the cake because it had indentations from the oven rack.
Thats why she came second

I suppose that she can take some solace in the fact that she is improving, even if ever so slightly. Another 11 years and she may just take first prize

Re: Is this woman unlucky?
Don't make Grandmother Jenny Brown feel a complete failure.  From how I read the article it was Julie Dent, from the Wimblington Sports Committee who made the comment that her own baking had been subject to another strange decision.

As for myself, I would never get as far as entering a competition with my baking. Even the birds refused to eat the first cake I baked when I was first married and since then I've got worse
