The 62-year-old who has delighted family and friends with her baking skills for years, was intrigued to find out which cake had beaten her tasty treat to the top spot.
But judges revealed her cake had been the only entry.
Organisers had spotted her sponge had rack mark indentations from where it had been in the oven - and decided it just wasn't up to the high standards demanded of coveted top place.
But grandmother-of-four Jennifer said she was not browned off and chuckled: "I must admit I have never heard of coming second in a one horse race before. But I haven't taken it personally - I had a good laugh about it."
Julie Dent, 44, member of the Wimblington Sports Committee, which ran the competition, explained: "The judges had an expectation and I suppose they didn't feel as though it qualified for first place. This was the first year but the cake competition will become an annual event.
