preparations for his cake.The next day he was so nervous he felt like he could just die of fear.When it was his turn to present his cake to the judges there was a slight burning and cackling sound.When he turned around he saw one of the other chefs lighting a candle and then out of nowhere a Lab sprints through the doors and knocked the match right out of the chef's hand and a fire

Aw what a nice story! I like the dramatic nature of it and you weave humour into it well! You also use a lot of detail and a lot happens, which I like! Some grammatical points for the critique circle: it would read much better if you broke it into paragraphs and also used some more punctuation, like commas, in the sentences. It can be quite difficult to take all of the information in without those breaks so it would be a lot easier for the reader. Usually a new paragraph is started anytime there is dialogue or a change of speaker as well. ...
