Here is a valentine's day cake challenge from Youtube/Foodnetwork...and drum role.........

Duff from Ace of Cakes!

lol...Nice video..

ah poop! I can't view the video! it keeps telling me to update flash player. i do and still it won't work! I'm going to pout!

The video is of Duff and Mary Alice. You have until Feburary 10, 2009 to submit your video. If you win, your video will be on the Youtube Foodnetwork Channel.

Not sure if there is a prize associated with it.

aaaaaaaaaack! A video of myself? doing what? making something cake related???

Yup, video yourself making a cake, or at least the progress of the cake. You don't have to actually be IN the video. At least, that's what the info next to the video says...

I'm totally in! Even though there's no prize listed, other than having your video featured on the Food Network channel on YouTube... Maybe you get a surprise visit from Duff and Mary Alice!

Probably not, but I can dream...

Thanks kansaswolf. I figured with all the challenges that go on here..would be great for someone we knew to win.

Hopefully everyone can stop reading the other post and check out the youtube video.

Yeah, I read 22 pages of it, and I'm not going to go back... Not looking, not looking, not looking...

Kind of entertaining, but I have other posts to look at! Like VOTING in the TD challenge!

if you haven't already!

hahahaha...that 'other' post is insane! I had to stop watching it. It was growing faster than I could read it and original statements began getting majorly twisted...no sense in trying to clarify when two or three pages roll by before one can finish typing.

No kidding, in the time it took me to READ the dang thing, it grew from 13 to 22 pages.

Dang.

says video isnt availible in my country

And we can't stop talking about it.

i know exactly what design i want to do!!!!

now all i need is to find a camera and download video editing software... lol

Thanks for the info FeGe! Yes, the other post was crazy...I got to page 17 & had to quit. Hmmmm, wonder how it turned out? Oh no, I'm getting sucked in again...must...resist...urge...to...look...at...post.

There's 33 pages now. I two was following the "program" HaHaHa.
It beat the re-runs on TV.

OK I have to ask. What other thread? Is it the one that Buddy is a part of?

I must warn you Parable, if you check out this post, you too may get sucked into the soap opera vortex. It's the "Officially Embarassed" post. It's up to 44 pages now.

SYNOPSIS: Customer (OP) was unhappy with her cake by a decorator on this website. Customer claimed the decorator's kitchen was unsanitary & she calls the health department on her, and THEN she posts a complaint on cake central. THEN, the decorator's friend posts several comments in the decorator's defense, making several slurs against the customer. THEN, the customer gets online in her own defense. THEN, the decorator gets online and defends herself...see, Cake Central's first official soap opera!

Don't go, it will suck you in! I keep checking back......I can't stop!!!!!!

it was hard to drag myself away from the "Officially embarrassed" post, but I ran outta popcorn

I watched the video and I know they said "cake"...do you think cupcakes would be disqualified?

I do much better at cc'd then I do with cakes

I figure it's still CAKE, why not? Maybe they'll give you points for originality...

Okay...I'm Officially Embarassed that I keep reading that post. I read up to 40 and i am DONE!

Anyone that post about the OTHER post will be fined..and I demand a free cake.

I would think cupcakes are included. But I have seen post asking Foodnetwork TV/Youtube some questions and they have responded in the comment section of the video.

Alrighty *rubs hands together*, Tonedna, you in? I'm thinking, I'm thinking....lol, I'd like to do this, I think it'd be fun. Just gotta come up with a cool design I'm going to see if any of the other wonderful ladies of youtube are up for it!

SeriousCakes, Tonedna, Sugarshack, (i'm sure there are lots more out there)..we would love to see your valentine's day creations.

for those who have flash player /java script issues when trying to view the video, click on the foodnetwork link at the right (after clicking on the link provided by OP) and you can view it there.

I always think I have an awesome cake, then I get my butt kicked by all you awesome cakers out there! DANG! Guess I just need more practice...

Here are some of the posted valentine's cake for Duff's cake challenge.
