The Contest Honor the Goddess of the Feast by participating in an age-old competition - a cook-off! :) Why not take some time to put your skills to the test and preparing something delicious for everyone? :) Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately, in some cases? XD) there is no taste component of the internet, so Creativity and Presentation in your dishes are what are judged on. So even if you aren't in any danger of putting the local gourmet chef out of business, you still have a shot at winning some rather sweet (and savory) prizes! And, best yet, you get to bake your cake and eat it too. :) The Hosts And what better time to get to know your hosts but for just before you read all the other information-y posts? :) Eroy[imgright]http://www.menewsha.com/images/avatars/24017.png[/imgright] Hey guys! I'm so thrilled to be working with CK on this event cooking contest. I love, love, love to cook and bake so I'm really excited to see what everyone comes up with. Do you're best! CK[imgright]http://www.menewsha.com/images/avatars/35483.png[/imgright] This will be my... gosh... my fifth time since joining Staff that I've assisted in some way with running a site event - sixth if you also count the user-run Menewshaversary... During which, speaking of, I ran a baking contest with a very similar format to this contest. ;D I can't say that I'm much of a cook - not that I'm bad at it, it's just that my entire family is good at it, so I rarely have the interest to cook meals on my own (not when I have my family to do it!). When it comes to cooking, I'm pretty big on presentation - probably from a combination of lots of cooking competition shows on television and being an artist. :) When I cook (well, I mean take a serious stab at it, not every-day cooking), it's usually something that requires baking and presentation skills. I'm looking forward to what Menewsha can do! :) |

[size=18][color=blue][u]Please Partake of My Creation![/u][/color][/size] Please Partake of My Creation! Username: CK Category: Menewsha 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: |

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions about this event, please feel free to ask in-thread. :) We'll answer and then put the answer here in the FAQ! :) 1) How are entries judged? Each entry will be judged in each category: Fits Theme?: How well does it fit the Menewsha or Celestial theme? Creativity: How creative is your entry? :) Presentation: Did you take your photo with the cake still in the pan? Did you simply plop the sandwich on the plate? Is the lighting in the photo poor? Take care with this area - it can make or break your entry! CK and Eroy will total the scores each gives individually to arrive at the winners. Your scores will not be posted publicly! 2) When are entries due? Entries are due by the 9th of August at 11pm Central Time Zone so that we can get you your prizes before the event ends!

Anything that is "food" is able to be used. :) That's not to say you shouldn't use cake - use whatever you think you could create a great entry from! |

Cooking? *ears perk up* I'm interested to see what sort of things Menewshans will whip up.
|
It sucks food can't be shared from the contestants. XD
|
I love baking, so I'll have to get my decorating tools out and see how everything turns out ^^ This will be very fun
|
Go me getting the first post *high five
|
Awesome. XD I've got an NPC interested too! I think that means I win! :O
|
This looks like a lot of fun.
And my step-dad is always telling me to bake. |
I wish I could cook well. xD
This looks like tons of fun though :] Maybe I'll give it a try. You might not want to get near what I cook though. -spots Abel- ...hehehe.... -shifty eyes- |
*laughs softly* Anything to show my support for the Goddess of Feast I suppose, CK.
*looks nervously back at Intoxicate* |
Now you have an excuse to bake for your step-dad. :3
And remember - it's not how well you do it, it's how much effort you put into making it look good, yeah? :3 Now, speaking of feasting and so forth, I'm meant to be getting dressed to go swimming while my parents buy items for my birthday dinner. XD; SOMEONE BAKE ME A CAKE. :D :heart: |
CK I'll bake you a cake? But you wont be able to eat it?
|
XD That's okay - I like looking at things too. :3 :heart:
::waits for ride to show up. would have been gone for now if brother hadn't called her parents as they were leaving the store to ask them to pick something up for him:: XD; |
Hey guys. Good luck with all your cooking endeavors!
|
I wish there was a way to let you guys know how good it is and let the prizes be based on the taste. :XD
But since I can't cook anyway, I probably won't enter this one. 8D~ *shot* |
Mmm. I wish I could taste everyone's food! XD
|
Oh here is where the food is! Well I will just have to stick around and drool.
|
Ooh nifty! I may just have to break out my old cake icing tips and see what I can do. X3
