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:

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
