Do you want to go |
The description of how you made the cake is very important! It is going to be one of the criteria that the submissions are judged on, so make sure you take your time and describe it as best you can. There is also a prize dedicated just to the best description, so make sure you include as much detail as possible.
Make sure you read our Official Contest Rules, but here are some quick guidelines to follow:
1. Your cake photo should be no larger than 800 x 600, if you are unable to upload your photo, send an e-mail to easybirthdaycakes[atsign]gmail.com with your photo attached and make sure you reference your name and the name of your cake in the e-mail so that we can match up the right cake with the right description.
2. Make your directions or description as detailed as possible. THIS IS IMPORTANT! The directions or descriptions must be in your own words and not taken from anywhere else. As many of you will remember from our previous contest, the description is one of the judging criteria and a cake cannot win if it does not have a good description.
3. You can submit as many cakes as you want, as long as they are yours and you made them! If your cake is a Wedding Cake, an Anniversry Cake, A Bridal Shower Cake or a Groom's cake, it should be submitted at our new sister site that is dedicated to wedding cakes: Wedding-Cakes-Connection.com
4. The deadline for submissions is midnight EST, March 31, 2010. All winners will be notified no later than April 15, 2010. Winning entries will also be posted here after the winners have been notified.
5. If you have submitted a cake to this site that was not part of our previous contest and you would like to enter it in this contest, send an e-mail to easybirthdaycakes[at sign]gmail.com, and your previously submitted cake will be entered. If you would like to add to the description (because it is one of the judging criteria) of your previously submitted cake, simply include it in the e-mail. Cakes that were entered in our previous contest which ended July 15, 2008 are not eligible for entry in this current contest.
6. If you would like to be notified of any future contests that we may hold, subscribe to our Free Newsletter "The Icing on the Cake" as we will also be announcing winners and contests via our newsletter.
7. Your submissions may be added to our site in the most appropriate sections of our site for your cake (i.e. similar themed cakes are grouped together). When you submit your e-mail, you can also be notified when your cake is added along with the URL of where to find your cake so that you can let your friends and family know and they can come and leave comments about your cake.
8. The Cake can be any type of cake, as long as you made it. It does not have to be a birthday cake. If it is a wedding cake, anniversary cake, bridal shower cake or groom's cake, then it should be submitted at Wedding-Cakes-Connection.com. Those types of cakes are eligible for a specially designated $75 Amazon Gift Card for cakes of that catagory that are submitted to Wedding-Cakes-Connection.com.
