Idiosyncrasy in variety of cakes wins (9)
I believe the answer is:
wackiness
'idiosyncrasy' is the definition.
'variety of cakes wins' is the wordplay.
'variety of' is an anagram indicator.
'cakes'+'wins'='cakeswins'
'cakeswins' with letters rearranged gives 'WACKINESS'.
'in' is the link.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
