Subeta Birthday Cake Contest!
Subeta's 10th birthday is coming up! Yay! Fanfare! What better time than now to host a site-wide contest? This birthday is a special one, and we're going to let you design some of the items for our celebration. This time, we want to see what kind of awesome Subeta-themed cakes you can bake. Red velvet cake, cheesecake, pound cake, cupcakes, you name it! Show us what kind of cake you'd like to see as one of the official celebration items, and the top three winners, as voted by our staff, will be drawn up and used as official items for our big day. Decorate them as elaborately as you'd like! Our top winners will receive 1500 CSC and a copy of their item!
Rule Breakdown:
- Your cake must be edible and Subeta-themed. We're sure you have a ton of other creative resources, but we're hungry and want to see some real cakes!
- You can use small non edible decorations like candles, but we wouldn't want to be slowed down too much if we were going to eat these cakes ourselves.
- Include a description (500 characters or fewer) that you would want to be used for the on-site item should your cake win.
- Have fun!
Click here to submit your Subeta-themed cake. Don't forget to enjoy the cake with your friends and family after you submit your entry! We want to know that all of these cakes went into loving bellies.
All entries must be submitted by August 31st. After our staff votes and the winners are determined, the items will be drawn up for our 10th anniversary!
Lick the bowl for us!

I love to bake but don't know how to decorate and I start college again tomorrow and have 15 credit hours this semester. I won't be able to find the time, even if I had an idea... wish I could though! I look forward to seeing other cakes.
PS: THANKS, SUBETA TEAM for giving us all incentives to eat unhealthy for the next week or so... XD

I'd actually love to do this, but the end date is my sister's birthday, so I don't know if I could get two cakes done. Or if we'd eat them.

Ha Ha! I just made a Carrot and Mahi mahi birthday cake for my cat's 10th birthday. Too bad I didn't take any photos of it before he and his kitty friends decimated it.

Dude some of the best cakes Ive had are organic. All of the ones from my fav bakery dont use dye and such and they are amazing. Especially ones like carrot/almond crusted..etc So I dont think that should be a reason not to! I mostly cook that way myself. You just have to get creative. There are edible flowers and such out there to fancy things up if what you want is colour :]

The problem is my family just had two birthdays so we're all like, "No more baked goods..." and several of my friends have problems with gluten. I'm sure it will be a huge hit at the nearby shelter.
Now I just need an idea what to make. Chocolate is always good

As someone who only eats organic/non-chemical foods... and lives in the South, I won't be participating in this (because 1. LOL OVEN XD and 2. without the use of dyes it would be so plain and simple) HOWEVER.
I just wanna say that I really hopeAriel enters and is allowed to place because her RAINBOW CAKE is legendary and I would love to see what she'd come up with-- I feel the staff favortism shouldn't apply here because of obvious culinary reasons xD

Your own creation! If you just used one of our cakes and won, we'd just draw the same cake again haha.

i'm up for this. I owe a friend or two cake anyway... just have to figure out how to decorate.... does the cake have to look like one from the site or just has to be subeta-themed? (Ie the mask contest had to make a mask similar to one already on the site). marshmallow fondant here I come!

Now I want cake batter orz I don't have time to bake as much I want to. I'll just wait and stare at the tasty entries.XD
Far, you can make fondant at home instead of spending money on it :P I watched a pastry chef demonstrate making fondant from scratch for a Home Ec class in high school (he made a turtle with it). Much cheaper!

With this crowd, you won't have any difficulties finding a hungry cake-lover. But it's sweet that you're gonna give it to a homeless shelter, I'm sure you'll make a lot of people happy with your cake.

Wait, how do I incorporate Subeta into a Better-Than-Sex cake....
Well, I guess if I do that kind of cake it should be Better-Than-Cuddling cake....

Tardis - I do something similar when baking "practice" cakes and cupcakes and such. I donate the finished product to local volunteer firemen, police, etc. :)

Tardis
I'm an excellent baker but I don't have anyone to eat the delicious baked goods. I'll still make something to submit and maybe donate it to the homeless shelter nearby

ALL MY YEARS AT BAKING SCHOOL SHALL PAY OFF.
Except I am still not the best at decorating things...
Are cupcakes alright ? Or just cakes ? Mini cakes alright ? Not petit fours, but just smaller cakes, so I can spread out what I do if I have time... And to ensure that nothing gets thrown out ?

I will be submitting a char-broiled cake as that is my baking specialty. I don't think I'll share it with others, or even eat it myself.

I can bake, and I can decorate somewhat, but what I really excel at is eating tasty baked goods. Bring 'em on. :)

So the contest is to bake a real cake in real life, and send in a picture?
Man, if I had any cake-decorating skills...or baking skills...or, idk, money =P I would totally want to participate. Man, I'm going to be so jealous of all those delicious cakes I won't be able to eat!

I have ideas, but I can't really bake. Though I would love it if my favorite birthday cake was featured which I may have a picture of from this year, so maybe I'll submit that.
