Is it okay if we use cupcakes?

[Minimanta]

I'm trying to submit my entry now, but when I click 'Save your entry!' it just keeps loading. It doesn't appear to be my internet connections fault seing as everything else is loading as usual...
Is something wrong?

Okay, can we use store bought candy for it? Just want to make sure...

[.:fσяєνєя:.]

No, one entry = one chance at a prize, you would have to share anything you might win. If you don't like that idea, make more than one cake and enter one each.
thanks Tess, we are willing to share everything. Me and Violet4321

You can but you won't score high with it.

Is it okay if we use cupcakes?

It is okay to make cupcakes instead of a whole cake, although with less design space you will need to come up with something special to stand out!

Please, it would really help if everyone read the main posts carefully. Most questions asked are answered there.

[Rainbow Sherbet]

So all store bought candy would be bad to use and lower our score? I don't think many people know how to make candy from scratch

[Sorren Fey]

You do not have to make everything from scratch.

It is okay to use a store-bought base for the cake instead of baking your own, but all shaping/icing/decorations need to be done by yourself (or with the help of friends/family). This isn't a taste contest, it is purely based on appearances, and your decorating is the most important part!

The main part is the appearance of the cake. So if you buy candies, chocolates and cookies and just put them on the cake, you will of course not score as high as someone who put more effort into it.

Just a question. How many entries have been submitted so far?

[Tess]

protip. don't use super moist for teir cake, or 'sculpted'

if i fail this time i can do it again? just don't submit anything?

sorry if this was already answered, but I wasn't online yesterday: if you make more than one cake, you can delete images from your submission and then add photos of the new cake. Please make sure you only have photos of one cake uploaded at the time of judging, because we won't judge two separate cakes from one account

...UUUUUGGGGGHHHH.
I forgot to put my username by the cake when taking inprogress shots! D:
I have loads of inprogress shots, but only have my username on the finished cake.
Does this mean I have to start again?
OTL
In one progress photo you can totally see an official piece of paper with my last name on it? xD Would that work?

Also, i can only upload five pictures when I really need to upload more, rofl.

after uploading some pictures you will get the option to upload another 5, and so on...

entry without your username displayed will be at our discretion, and is not guaranteed. Please submit your entry and wait for a PM from me or Nick to let you know if it was accepted.
