    Maximum one entry per member?

  2. dozenredroses says:

    Can we enter a photo of a cake that was previously uploaded?

  3. Bskinne says:

    I would like answers to both those questions, too. :)

  4. Bskinne says:

    Nevermind, I read the rules…1 entry per person. :)

  5. cabecakes says:

    Can you upload a picture from your photo gallery, or would you have to delete it before uploading it to the contest.

  6. nanaofmany says:

    You can use a picture you’ve already uploaded, you just go to that photo in your gallery and click on edit, then you change the catagory that your photo is under (Birthday, Wedding, etc…) to 2010 Animal Contest.

  7. Artese says:

    Are cupcakes allowed? I have some puppy cupcakes.

  8. tingeling says:

    Does the category “animal” include insects, like a little lady bug? I have a lady bug cake that I would like to enter if possible.

  9. shannonlovebug says:

    I don’t know how to upload my pic to the contest. I click on galleries, then upload photo but I’m not seeing “contests” in the drop down menu. Can someone please tell me what I’m doing wrong?

  10. michalmari says:

    shannonlovebug – go to your photo’s, click on the picture you want to enter into the contest, then click on “Edit Photo”, when the option appears for editing go to the drop down for categories and select “Contest>2010 Animal Cakes Contest”. Then Save. Good luck!

  11. you know what i really enjoyed about the steampunk cake contest? that people made a cake for THAT theme. i hate that you get things that aren’t really “animals” as entries. oh well.

  12. tinascoolcakes says:

    I’m new at making cakes, so I have a farm animal cake where the animals on the cake are made completely from fondant, but the barn and silo on the cake with them are kid’s toys. Would this cake be eligible then?

  13. paula19 says:

    Are cupcakes allowed? I also want to know.

  14. KitKat6 says:

    I am new to this kind of contest. Can you explain what you are catagorizing as animals. Amphibians, included? I am really excited to try this out and being new I do not have a major stash of pictures of cakes to go through, so I can have fun designing. Thanks for this chance to participate.

  15. ALR1955 says:

    I would also like to know the answer to KitKat6′s question. What falls under the them of animals?

  16. cmnycakes says:

    HOLY MOLY there’s a lot of entries already. 15 pages worth! How are we going to sift through all that to vote… Anyways, I added one to the list too…

  17. lsmrosie says:

    I also would like to know does the category “animal” include insects?

  18. mom262 says:

    HELP i added the wrong phot to the contest, I still want it in my my pics but not in this category, I can’t click on edit photo because when I do it says only allowed one photo, which I know I just want the right one!

  19. tokazodo says:

    I submitted a photo, but I am not seeing it show up in the 2010 Animal Cakes Contest Gallery. I’ve tried to upload it a second time, but it says I’ve already submitted a photo. How come I can’t see my photo?

  20. hollenshead1 says:

    where’s the stars to vote?

  21. CakesIMake says:

    I did a tom & jerry cake…he’s a cat…does that count??????

  22. CakesIMake says:

    I did a tom & jerry cake…he’s a cat…does that count??????

  23. bnmusician says:

    I entered a cake into the contest but I cant seem to get back to the pictures just to look through the entries. Can someone point me in the right direction please? Do we have to wait until voting starts to look through them? Im fairly new to this site and Im still trying to figure it all out. Thanks.

  24. tokazodo says:

    I uploaded a photo last week, 8 /15/2010, but it still isn’t appearing in the contest. I keep going through all the entries, but my cake is not there.
    Any advice?
    tnx

  25. tokazodo says:

    I tried to upload again this morning, but it’s telling me only on entry per contestant.

  26. lifeisgood says:

    my photo won’t upload. It says it doesn’t exist, then when I try to repost it says “only one entry per contestant”.

  27. bunny520 says:

    ME TOO! i uploaded my photo and it didnt work and now when i try it says “only one photo per user!” how terrible! that makes me so mad!

  28. CooksCreativeConfections says:

    I had the same thing happen as lifeisgood. It told me my photo doesn’t exist, and won’t let me try to submit it again. I still haven’t heard back from my message I sent using the “contact” form. Guess I’m not going to get an entry to this one… it was my first try! :(

  29. bunny520 says:

    me too, cookscreative confections. the same thing happened and this was my first try too! im getting very frustrated with this site lately! it makes me really mad!

  30. bunny520 says:

    any ideas on how to get our entries accepted? thats really awful!

  31. khgracie says:

    well, I couldn’t see mine, either. I assumed it was not accepted or perhaps I hadn’t followed some rule. As well, I thought maybe it’s so we can’t vote on our own cakes?? Sounds wonky, but they’re the only explainations I could come up with. I don’t know if I’m even close….Has anyone heard??

  32. randell says:

    Am I blind?? I have tried to change the category of already uploaded picture to 2010 Animal contest but I am not seeing anything with the words 2010 animal contest. Help, what am I doing wrong?

  33. Zee1999 says:

    Where can I see the results of the contest?

  34. dodisc says:

    Where are the results?

  35. bunny520 says:

    khgracie and randell: the deadline to submit was aug. 23. i JUST got mine in on time!
