Taken from film theory, the term auteur refers to an artist (usually a director) whose individual style and control over all elements of a film give it a distinct and recognisable look. So adopting this idea, the Sugar Auteur of the year will be the sugar artist who has such a distinct and personal style and has honed their skills so well, that their work is instantly recognisable as theirs without us even being told!
