So??? is it going to happen? I would love to have this kind of contest because I am just no good at fondent and I would love to have a fighting chance with the all butter cream. Dont get me wrong, i love the creations that are made with the fondant and I have even voted for them but I would love to do this contest.

Hi everyone,

I had e-mailed Jackie to bring her attention to this idea, and I'm waiting for a response. I don't know how else to go about bringing this contest to reality. Hopfully, she will take notice, and like the idea.

Please be patient on this everyone.

We only have 1 contest per month and we never announce the next contest until the current one is completed.

Jackie and I will consider this request as we determine each month what contest theme we want to run.

good enough for me also, and let me say that it is a wonderful idea to partner the theme of the March cake contest with a well deserving charity. it's what makes CC special--all the kind, giving people.

This is a theme you should expect to see continue. Jackie and I are planning to make the involvement of charity with the contests a regular part of the program.

I love this idea, but I think it should still have a them, kinda like outdoorsy or flowery, etc.

We can vote on the baby shower cake contest the 24th, right?!?!

Would it be possible to run both competitions at the same time. That way we could choose which one to enter. I have never used Buttercream for decorating and I always used fondant, as this is the only way I have been taught.

We can't run two competitions as the same time as the prizes and charity donations come from the poor pockets of Jackie and I. We just don't have the budget to give multiple prizes and donations each month.

We will consider this theme for one of the upcoming contests but until I discuss it with Jackie I can't make any promises on which month it will be.

Thanks Jackie and Heath for your response to this forum.

I am really glad to see the support for my idea of an all buttercream contest. It also leaves you the chance to come up with the theme, and having more charity themes is a great idea!
