All this hard work and time spent on my castle cake and I absentmindedly put ribbon around my cakes and they Disqualified me!! I'm so bummed out...I hope my fellow CC'ers will at least enjoy my hard work

I am so sorry that happened to you but your cake is absolutely breathtaking! You did an amazing job!

The cake is beautiful!!! Cant you cut the ribbon off and re enter it? You can put fondant rocks around it and it would be a different cake all together. Or is it one entry per email address?

oh no...i'm crying w/ ya!! i can't believe it, would they buy that it was fondant ribbon painted w/ luster dust. oh well those wilton so-and-so's don't know what they are doing. look at how many complaints the set gets. maybe they should make a better product instead of disqualifying someone who used it, made it work (despite it's flaws), and created something magical!! you did great ::hug:: from me to you!

That's too bad Oh well their loss, your cake is absolutely beautiful. I never use ribbon on my cakes, I always make them out of fondant, but that's good to know that is one of Wilton's rules.
Best luck next time.

Awww, that is such a drag!! You did a beautiful job, I especially love the water part at the bottom - very creative spin on it! Hope you can re-enter per PP suggestion!

It's just beautiful! Too bad they didn't warn you so you could have remove the ribbon.
BTY, you and your DH(?) look a lot like my DH and me. He's 6'5" (grew 2 1/2' after we were married) and I'm 3'3". He's the only one around who can tell me when it's time to do my roots!

I feel so bad for you I hope you will be able to re-submit it with out the ribbon. It's very impressive

I'm so sorry! Your cake is wonderful!

Oh no! And your cake looks gorgeous!

Where are you from in Alberta anyways?

well what do they have against ribbon?
I think your cake is awesome.

Wow. That cake is FABULOUS. That just stinks. You are too talented for your own good!

Angie

Gorgeous cake! Very well done!!! Thanks for letting us enjoy it. You get a blue ribbon all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!! Can you re-enter????? It is absolutely beautiful!!! See if you can re-enter!!

I'm so sorry about the disqualification, you must feel so bad!! It's a beautiful cake and you should have won!!! I send you blue ribbons!!!!

That sucks! I am sorry! It is an amazing cake.

I didn't even know you couldn't do that???
It is stunning though..I love the idea you used...so different!!
I LOVE IT!!

Sorry to hear that!! Your cake is gorgeous!!!

Yeah...I bought Wilton fondant (yuck!), candy melts, chocolate mold, gumpaste castle set...not to mention all the (crappy) wilton TOOLS I own and have spent money on...(plus the cake decorating classes...) It does say in the rules that EVERYTHING MUST be edible to enter (except separator plates, pillars and of course their castle kit that they are hocking...) but it was a slip-up, I just finished the cakes the way I always do. And besides...I'd rather eat the RIBBON then their DISGUSTING fondant ANYDAY!!!...LOL....Grrrrrrr

BEAUTIFUL CAKE. I am so sorry, I can't understand their reasoning. But thank you for sharing the picture, the cake really is beautiful you are very talented.

I got disqualified too because I used plastic picks to attach my flags!

They are not edible! Picky picky....


Stephanie

Oh whatever on the edible thing - when half the cake is made out of plastic castle pieces, what the crap is wrong w/ a tiny ribbon or plastic pick?? That seems ridiculous. I love the cake - great job!

That really sucks, I had no idea that they would be so picky.
I read that you can enter multiple cakes and as often as you want, so maybe just drop the ribbon and re-enter, because it is a beautiful cake and you deserve to win!

Your cake was absolutely beautiful! As far as Wilton goes, if they dont let you reenter it without the ribbon then it just goes to show you what kind of company they really are. Their getting worse and worse. I just hope when this new company takes them over its not more of the same otherwise we might have to boycott them along with the other company...You know who!

seriously wilton better watch who they are playing with. i've already deleted that other company from my favs, i wouldn't hesitate to do the same to them. it's not like they are the only peeps i can buy caking stuff from. btw once you've been deleted by me, it's over!

~chris~

has the entry deadline passed yet? if no, re-submit it without the ribbon or add fondant ribbon.

Debbie

Wow! They really are sticklers! Your cake is amazing! I would've never thought to use it like that! Great work!

I'm sorry! Your cake is absolutely gorgeous.
