Overview

Cakes make people happy. We like cake.

We want you to be happy too, so we're holding a Cake Contest!

Show us the coolest cakes you can make.
Cakes are about both tastiness and beauty, so you can choose to focus on tasty recipes or decoration. Describe how to make your favorite deliciously gooey chocolate cake, or demonstrate how to turn a sheet cake into a fully decked-out pirate ship. It's up to you.

If you made an awesome cake a while ago and don't have in-progress photos, draw some diagrams or use SketchUp to explain the construction process.

The only requirement: it must be about a full-sized cake.
- Pie is not cake.
- Cupcakes are not full-sized cakes.

Got it? Now get baking!
