The 2020 albicake winner, Best Presentation theme and Overall Co-winner: ‘Gough in Miniature’ by Adam Naylor
Although ACAP is not running a World Albatross Day cake-baking competition this year as it did for the inaugural day in 2020, we are still strongly encouraging all the bakers and albatross lovers alike out there to bake an albatross creation to mark World Albatross Day in 2022. Extra brownie (cake) points will be awarded for incorporating the WAD2022 theme of “Climate Change”!
We had not anticipated the incredible response to the 2020 call for albicakes that resulted in no less than 74 entries, with certificates being sent to all and posters to prize winners and runner ups in various categories (click here). Some of the technicalities behind these cakes still amazes us today; we only wish we could have tasted them all!

Our 2020 call for albicakes was made at the height of the global COVID-19 lockdown. Baking brought a much-needed distraction from those unsettling times and a great way to get creative while making something equally beautiful and delicious. We think the world could always do with more albatross cakes and albatross facts being shared, so we would love to see your creations again this year to mark the third World Albatross Day on 19 June.
