More details will appear magically on the site once I've had a chance to sleep, but you can register now and start your mixers!



Thanks to Threadless for rocking out the prizes, and to Charlie over there for coordinating everything with me. And thanks to everyone who loves the last contest so-very-dearly and made it such a big hit... I think this one might blow it away!

Gah. Confirmation link fixed. It's been an insane weekend.



People from outside the US is a good question; I need to check to see what our prize providers are down with, with regard to shipping and such. You're more than welcome to enter, but I can't guarantee that every prize will make it your way. The GCs would definitely, though!

I know, I still can't believe they're totally food--the pics showed her with some toothpicks, but a closer inspection revealed she was just popped them into place and then pulling the picks out--she has another photo of her eating their adorable little selves completely.



I'm going to be revealing a LOT more on the site VERY soon. I just needed to sleep and had a hellish weekend with my real job. :-)

YtFeLMi, if you were on Facebook or AIM, I would tell you the super secret possible top prize for 3D cakes that we haven't announced because I'm not 100% sure yet...



But you're not, so I won't.



Guys, if you're having trouble with activation still, just let me know. I will help you out; I'm so sorry there was a bug in the template that went out, but I was on like... 2 hours of sleep and worked all weekend. (Not on Threadcakes; that was just from 2am-8am this morning. :p)



Keep up the questions and comments!

The new gallery will be pretty cool, too, since it will let you see each entry and the design it's based off of.



Still checking on other prizes, and planning to tweak the rules, and add a few extra pages tonight.



Keep checking!

Discontinued designs are totally fine, so long as they were printed at some point.



There will be a list of ALL historic prints and you'll be picking from that dropdown.



ALSO: A new prize has been confirmed and will be announced later this week for the 3D category. It is rather amazing, and I'm really excited by it!

Also, I'd love to encourage you guys to do cake parties. Have friends over and have them help you bake an awesome cake. It's really a lot of fun, and a lot of people did it last year.



Remember, the contest goes through August 3rd so that you have seven weekends to work on!

You should be able to sign up just fine now, but we're still not accepting uploads for another day or two. (Gotta get the image uploading stuff tested and ready.)



In the mean time, check out the fresh design and full prize list. It's pretty epic!
