Hello,
If anyone is interested in participating in a Dec TD with me... I'm game. (cracks knuckles...)

~ I'm self-taught and have been decorating for about 2 yrs, if that helps...

thanks for reading

I've been lurking around the TD's for awhile Not sure if I'm up for it but I've been doing cakes for a few years too so it looks like we have similar experience. does it have to be fondant? I'm not so good with that.

Not to good with fondant my ass.. Your entry cake is gawgeous.

I agree with Jkalman! That cake is STUNNING!!!!!!!!

No, it doesn't have to be fondant...

thanks but it's a dummy... soooo much easier to cover than real cake!

so what type of throwdown did you have in mind?

Sounds fun but nerve wracking.

If you don't have a taker, let me know. I'm game. How does it work and where can I find the rules? I've been decorating for about the same time as you.

I'm game....I think. I don't think time spent decorating should matter though....I got a lot of ya'll's cakes in my favorites! Ya'll got mad skillz!

There's a thread about the rules in the contest page (I think under TD new ideas...)

Ok, so a few people are interested... great!
How should I do this? I'm not sure of the etiquette...
** stephaniescakenj ~ what are your thoughts?

Should I just see whoever PM's me first? I appreciate you all being up for a challenge.. I'll probably get slaughtered, but it should be so much fun!!

thanks~

I don't know what the rules are for the TD. could someone please PM them to me. my computer is not letting me search for them right now. any help will be appreciated. sounds like a good time..
thanks,
donna

well since we have four people, I'd say we could do two throwdowns? What do you think? Or can all four of us do it together? Probably not. I have to read the rules too. I love the holiday idea. I've always wanted to do presents or something like that.

Ha! just realized you said NOT a holiday theme... so the other thing I was thinking about was a color theme and I've been dying to do a black and white cake.

That's ok... we can do a holiday theme, I have a few ideas I like.
(I was being a Scrooge before ) I really don't mind.

If we can't all 4 compete together, someone please just partner up with me. I don't mind whoever chooses to TD with me...

We have to decide by Dec 1, right?

I wouldn't mind a black and white theme either. I would prefer not to do a holiday theme, if possible. Can it be a dummy cake (so long as it is only the styrofoam that replaces the edible part) or does it have to be a real cake?

well we can all do TD's simultaneously, we just have to figure out who we'll partner up with. Why don't we try and match up based on our desired themes?

I just looked over the rules. the cakes do have to be real, although I have no clue who will eat all the cake when we're done Is there anyway we could limit to 3 tiers rather than 2 tiers?

Here's the link to the rules.

Great idea about matching up with theme...

I have decided to contradict myself and go with the
Holiday theme...

K2Cakes and I will be pairing up and doing a holiday theme. Everybody else find a partner and let the throwdowns begin!!!!

Good Luck Kristi! I can't wait to see your creation.

good luck to you too, Stephanie...

as they say, BRING IT ON!!!

Jillmakescakes has an opponent. I love the rules/guidelines that they'll be working with. If anyone is interested in a TD with the same as here....

http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopicp-6174308.html#6174308 please, pm me. today, if possible.

I'm up to a TD....any theme is good for me..keep me posted

ooohhhhh this is going to be a good one. let the smack talking begin!!!

say if there are 4 separate TDs, are there 4 separate people to upload it to? how do you know who to submit it to? how do you submit it to them? in a PM?

I'd like to do a TD but I'm rusty on cake decorating. I've been working more with pasties and chocolate lately....besides you would soooooo kick my butt K2cakes. You've got some cake skills girl.

I can't wait to see how all of these challenges work out. Rooting you all on!

Hi guys! WOW....look at all this TD action.

I am currently hosting (meaning I'll be posting your photo's in a Poll thread) the TD's for the following people in December:

Mosmom vs. SnowShoe1
Stephaniescakenj vs. K2 Cakes
Jillmakescakes vs. ???? - the suspense is killing me...who is it???
All4Cake vs. Mariu

So, what will it be, Mkolmar and Kels-Bells? Are you doing a TD together.

If you are doing a throwdown and need someone to "host" your TD, please let me know so I can add you to my list and keep everyone straight. You can email me or just post it here. Please post it here in this format so I can easily see it....

Screenname1 vs Screenname2

Thanks and good luck to everyone! This is going to a very exciting Throwdown month. I can't believe how many we'll have!!!

Hi Vicky, Thanks for hosting for us!!! I can't wait. we have to get our pics to you by Saturday December 20th, right?

i thought they changed the rules to make it a dummy cake??
