Please Partake of My Creation! Please Partake of My Creation! Username: CK Category: Birthday Cake Contest Creation Name: Three-Tier Yumeh Cake! URL: pretend url here! Comments: This three-tier cake is made out of one layer of chocolate, one layer of vanilla, and one layer of pumpkin spice cake! I decorated it with homemade black icing and I used blue M&Ms for the eyes! :D My mom taught me how to use the new oven, but it was kind of funny because the layer of chocolate had to be done twice because she's still learning too. XD; My fingers are still black! D: |
Categories and Prizes
There are three entry categories! Remember that the Menewshaversary theme colors are gold, green and blue and it's considered Yumeh's birthday. :) (It is not, however, necessary to have your entry meet the theme as long as it has a general Menewsha theme to it. ;) ) Each category must have at least five contestants (not entries) for the prizes to be handed out. Otherwise, each participant will receive 50 gold. (Example: If the Cake Event has only 3 entries, I will hand out 50 gold each and not the listed prizes.) + Birthday Cake Bake a cake with a "Menewsha's First Birthday" or general Menewsha theme to it. :) PRIZES: - (First) 1000 gold + your choice of either1 Winter Event Rares Set or 1 Halloween Event Rares Set. - (Second) 500 gold - (Third) 250 gold + Birthday Cookies Bake cookies with a "Menewsha's First Birthday" or general Menewsha theme to it. :) PRIZES: - (First) 1000 gold + your choice of either1 Winter Event Rares Set or 1 Halloween Event Rares Set. - (Second) 500 gold - (Third) 250 gold + Birthday Confections (ie: Other) Create candies, cupcakes, pies, or other confections (gelatins are fine!) with a "Menewsha's First Birthday" or general Menewsha theme to it. :) PRIZES: - (First) 1000 gold + your choice of either1 Winter Event Rares Set or 1 Halloween Event Rares Set. - (Second) 500 gold - (Third) 250 gold + PEOPLE'S CHOICE On the 21st, all nine winners will be put into a poll. Users will be able to vote on the one they think is the most awesome-spectacular until the Event ends. The winner of this poll will receive one set of January Contribution Items. :) In the event of a tie, we will figure something out. XD; |
Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions about this event, please feel free to ask in-thread. :) I'll answer and then put the answer here in the FAQ! :) 1) How are entries judged? Each entry will be judged 0 - 5 in each category: Fits Theme?: How well does it fit the Menewshian First Birthday theme? How well does it relate to Menewsha in general? Creativity: How creative is your entry? :) Presentation: Did you take your photo with the cake still in the pan? Is the lighting in the photo poor? Take care with this area - it can make or break your entry! CK will participate in the judging and select two or three extra judges when the event is closer to going through. :) Your scores will not be posted publicly! 2) Do entries have to be baked to be eligible? I think most cakes and cookies (if not all) are made by baking. But the "Other" category is open to all other forms of desserts. :) Puddings, gelatins, candies - whatever dessert type thing you can make and turn into a Menewsha theme is acceptable, even if you don't use an oven. ;) 3) When are entries due? / What about People's Choice? Entries are due 'sometime' by the 22nd of January - whenever the Event forum is closed. Your best bet is to get them in as quickly as possible, however! :o (Because I don't know the exact minute or hour of when the forum will close on the 22nd. But probably around 12 noon Pacific Time Zone!) After the Event subforum has closed, I will make the People's Choice polling thread in Community Discussions to allow people to vote for their favorite. :) |

|
This looks interesting! Whoa. |
Agreed. What an interesting contest this will be.
|
Oh that's very awesome! I may make something for that..OH OH I KNOW!
|
:3 Excited to see entries. :D
This thread, btw, will be moved to the Menewshaversary Event forum once it opens. But I'll leave it here until such time as it does. (It's a contest that requires preparation, so you guys get a few days before the event starts to get your ingredients together!) |
If I tried to do this, i'd end up making little black pebble type things. .____.;; But i'm still going to be lurkin' |

My mom says she wants to make a cake anyways, so once I get to baking that (Saturday probableh~), I'll be like. MOM CAN I DO A CONTEST ON TAH INTERNETZ? And she'll be all. Yeah. I don't care. :P So be prepared for an entry from me! |
@Scribble Me Orange: You can start posting entries now! :) This thread will be here until the event forum opens on the 18th. And the due date for submission of all entries is the 20th. So you have about 10 days to get to baking. :D

I made a cookie...but then I ate it. >_>; (I'll go grocery shopping soon and see what I can do :3) |

Tori: WWAAAH I LOVE THAT PICTURE! I made you a cookie. But I eated it. :( |
\:D/
I've been super-excited about this contest for months. I'm really interested in what results. :3 (Also - I love that lol-cat meme picture too. :33 ) |
xD I love that too! I wasn't sure if it was eated or ated. 8D I think I'm going to run with that idea. >D
|
Ooh~ This is a lovely idea! >w<
I already feel hungry reading about the contest. Hmm... I have not baked in a while. Maybe I should get my cooking utensils back out this weekend for this contest. XD |
I'm tempted to make Mene cupcakes. >__> It'd be a good excuse for making baked goods. lol |
I wish I had an oven. XD
|
Aw, Caroline... You don't need an oven, really. XD If you make gelatins or puddings, they don't require an oven. XD
|
This'll be a perfect excuse to make that red velvet cake I've been craving. :] Let's hope I can get the kitchen clean in time. (it really is bad...sink issues) And I'll get to play around with frosting! Woot!

Just raid a friend or relative's house and use their oven. xD I'm sure they'd allow it if you offered part of what you made. |
jelly! XD <3 Thanks for adding the word gelatins into the confections catagory!! :]! |
sounds fun... if i get the chance to do any baking i'll see what i can come up with
