I have a question....

am I reading this right?....can you just e-mail all the info to them? I didn't see a link for an online entry form...just a downloadable one that you would mail in.


Thank you! icon_biggrin.gif

Adven68-
I had the same problem and it took me 3 emails to finally get an answer that wasn't automated. They told me I could download my photo with the details about it directly to them. The picture has to be no bigger than a certain size but mine were slightly larger so I hope it will be ok.

Give it a try!

Has anyone heard anything yet? I checked their website and it's no longer posted so it's obviously closed, not the site, but the contest! icon_smile.gif

I was just curious as I cleaned off my desk (rare occasion!) and came across my submission. Didn't know when the publication is to arrive with the photos/winners listed? Did it say what issue? My print out didn't have that much detail.

Thanks!

UPDATE!!! The winners were just decided last week. They will be in the Aug/Sept issue.

I don't know if I should mention this or not... I only know because I got a call on Wednesday and it was Taste of Home Magazine. No I didn't win any of the four categories in the contest. However, she did asked if they could feature one of my cake submissions from the contest for their Dec/Jan issue... Ok, you can pick me up off the floor now... icon_surprised.gif I just finished sending her the instructions and what not on the cake. Now I have to do a little bio on me - something short and sweet - and a photo! I'm glad it's a Dec/Jan issue as I already feel like the little kid on Christmas morning that can't wait to open her present!!!

Well, I just had to share. I hope someone here won one of the categories. I know we have a lot of very talented people up here. Please let us know if you have been contacted. They received over 4,000 entries. I told the lady that called that it was posted on Cake Central and we have a large following.

Thanks all!!!

Thank you Paula for the update. I've been wondering when it would be announced too.

Please share which cake of yours will be featured. Is it posted here at CC? We'd love to see it!

Congratulations Paula....I was also contacted last week. They told me I was one of the finalists, but i'm not sure where that places me. They will let me know, but they did ask me to send a larger picture for them to publish. Apparently the one I sent was too small. I was like you...doing the happy dance all over my apartment!! Mine should be posted in the Aug/Sept issue!!

Thanks everyone for posting this contest!!

Sorry, I've not been on much, just trying to catch up to myself lately. Anyway, the cake to be featured is in my gallery, it's one of my Christmas cakes... the single layer 10" with the brush embroidery technique on the holly with the pine boughs.

Patrice -- Congrats to you to!!! Please share your photo as well!!! I can't wait to see the issues when they come out. I just got the June/July one.
