British grandmother Jenny Brown would be able to brag to her grandchildren about getting second place in a baking competition, except for one problem: She was the contest's only entrant. The 62-year-old Brown entered her Victoria sponge cake in a contest put on by the Wimblington Sports Committee, but judges marked her down because her cake had imprints from the oven rack.

"The judges had an expectation and I suppose they didn't feel as though it qualified for first place," said a committee spokeswoman.

It's not the first time Brown's baking had been rejected by judges. "About 11 years ago I entered a show with some fruit scones," she told the BBC. "I was the only entrant but I came third."
