I tried enter my photo and it failed. It will not allow me to do it again, it says only one entry allowed. Can you help?
I think something is wrong with the loading of photos… I tried loading and spend 20 minutes at 0%. Help please.
I can’t see the rating stars under the photos… Can’t figure out how to vote!!!
I had that issue for the winter wonderland contest and never did see my cake on the site
good luck folks!!
thesweetspotnc- the stars will show up on Feb.28th the voting does not start until then.
Happy voting = )
Boooo!
This is the first contest I’ve tried to enter, and I’m having uploading issues as well!
I just need a clarification. I read the rules, but wanted to be clear. Would an “army” (for lack of a better word) of mini owl cakes be ineligible? Thanks!
I’m seeing duplicate cake entries around pages 4,5,& 6
I have had trouble also in the past uploading pice, it says I’m only allowed 1 entry even though I havent enterd any thing yet, I would like to make a cake specifically for this contest but would hate to run into the same problem after doing all the work
I have not been helped with my photo. What really gets me mad is there are cakes posted with no Owl theme at all. I am very disappointed. I love this site. Please help me
upload my photo. Does noone look at these comments??
am I crazy? I cannot see where the stars are to rate the pics??? I’ve clicked on the thumbnails, but don’t see any starts to rate them???
Can’t upload my owl pic
I just uploaded a photo with no problems. I did not use the link above, I uploaded the photo the normal way, then selected the contest name as the catagory.
I hope that helps you get your photos posted.
Please fix the voting problem! My friends keep reminding me that they are still unable to vote on the site!!!!
Tahnk you
Please fix the voting problem! My friends keep reminding me that they are still unable to vote on the site!!!!
Thank you
I uploaded my photo and i am able to see the views and rating will that disqualify me, how can i fix that
sharshars and sweetbrantleys – the voting does not start until the 28th
Everyones owl cake entry doesnt show how many people viewed or how many people added them as favorites, mine does, well did because i removed it. I would like to upload it again but im afraid its gonna do the same, any advice
I also tried loading, and got a weird “one entry per person” message. Any way to tell if I need to enter it again??
I guess you can view all entries and see if yours is there
has anyone discovered the uploading mystery, first time contest entry…would love to enter
CAN’T VOTE
Hi everyone! Try another internet browser other than Firefox, because it changed the uploading problem for me
And voting doesnt start until Feb 28th 
Good luck to everyone, there are so many beautiful owl cakes!
@miri35 – I guess the reason why you could see how many people have viewed YOUR owl entry is that you were still logged IN. When you’re logged OUT it shouldn’t display it for you either. So don’t let yourself be irritated and enter your cake again. Good luck!
Silly me…Thanks you so much
I am trying to vote but can’t see the stars at the end of each cake. Help!
I’ve tried to upload couple of times now and still nothing.
Trammie, what Internet browser did you finally use? Also, if it didn’t work your first time were you allowed to finish your entry? My first time. I have worked hard on these and want to actually get the entry in!

I think it’s really a shame that I dind’t receive my certificate nor gift voucher from the Holiday Cake Contest 2011. I’ve send you several emails but don’t get any reply from you.
I do know that I’m not the only one and that other cake contest winners didn’t receive their giftvoucher either.
I must say again that it was a great honer for me to win the first place among all the participants. And I thank once again all the people who voted for my cake!!
Ditto Madamegateau. Have never received anything. My daughter was terribly disappointed not to receive the book. Sure, it’s not a tragedy but explain something like that to a small child. She also loves cakes and this site. And it would be great to have a certificate, just because.
It is a shame that cake central doesn’t give the prize to the winner of a contest that they promised. It is an honor to win, and be voted there by other cake decorators for sure, and we don’t enter contests for the money or certificates. But if a prize is promised, the prize should be given.
I, too, am unable to upload my picture. I have tried using firefox and internet explorer but to no avail. It stayed at 10% for over 40 minutes. This is so disappointing, I actually have a cake for the theme!
Please help!
Today is February 27, 2012, the deadline for entering cakes in the owl contest. I worked very hard on my cake and cannot upload it. This is very upsetting to me!
I’m on Eastern Standard Time, it is February 27, 2012. It is 9:06 pm and I can’t upload my cake. Frustrating, very frustrating!
Try Google Chrome. That is what I used. Also, be sure you are logged in.
I am extremely disappointed with this website. It’s the first contest I’ve entered, I posted my pics the very 1st day, and today I’m looking for my entry and it is NOWHERE to be found. REALLY??? Not cool! I had no problems uploading either!!! Not happy at all! :0(
Mine is gone too. It was on for a few days and now doesn’t even show up in my gallery.
I have to throw in my two cents – I too never received the gift certificate or certificate for winning the Angry Birds cake contest. No responses have been received when I inquired about them. Come on cakecentral, please honor your own contests…
I am so impressed. Beautiful cakes!
For those of you that have not received your prizes, please make sure you check your junk email, and set your filters to allow mail from cakecentral.com! We send prizes and certificates every time there is a contest. Almost all gift certs are digital and emailed. Books are sent via US postal mail, and if returned as undeliverable, we reach out to you via email.
The award certificates are also sent via US postal mail (no delivery confirmation or tracking)
hola no ablo ingles , me gustaria participar en sus concursos señora jackie , por favor usted me puede esplicar como se hace y cuando es el otro concurso y el tema del concurso muchas gracias !!!!
hola cuando es el proximo concurso que alguie me conteste gracias!!!!
I’m sorry to say that I’ve never received any e-mail containing award certificate or regarding undeliverable item. No filters for CC e-mails, I always receive topic notifications, CC newsletters etc., no junk mail either. I’ve bought the book that was supposed to be the prize at e-bay.com, as I didn’t want to disappoint my daughter and keep the promise I gave her. It’s not autographed but she doesn’t mind. I told her we received it from CC as she originally thought. Never mind though, it’s not so important to me personally. Just sad. Anyway, this is a great and so useful site (and lovely people too), I really love it.
I did receive your email wher you ask me to send my adress etc, I answered it twice, but no answer back, I do receive all the emails from CC, notifications, newsletters etc.
So I’m sure that it didn’t and up in my junkmail….
I haven’t got any prizes from my spooky cakes contest win OR my Octopus Cake Contest win.
