Cake International first decided to turn The MusicContent ='JJ Lin'> off, before later sending the baker an email telling them that the cake would be "removed", said 3rd space.

Dozens of people later took to Cake International's Social MediaContent ='JJ Lin'> platforms complaining, accusing the organisers of pandering to "censorship".

"Oversized exhibits will be disqualified. This entry was not removed as a Political StatementContent ='JJ Lin'> ," it said in a Facebook post.

However, 3rd space said: "It is obvious that it was an excuse that they came up [with] to cover their political censorship. "
