I'm just sorting out this contest stuff and thinking it might be a good way to challenge myself. So how far ahead do we find out about upcoming contests? How long do we have to do our cakes? And what are the upcoming themes? All I see under contests is the Halloween one that is past. What's next?

No one knows but Jackie and Heath The current contest ends Nov. 13th so some time after that the next contest theme and dates will be announced.

Thanks! I'll be eagerly waiting!

Here is a link to a previous thread in which Jackie mentions the frequency of the contests:
