I i'm eagerly awaiting the results as this is my 1st ever competition I have entered, I was wondering when the results will given baring in mind i'm in the uk and the time zone difference. Its 2.10pm Sat 31st here but you are already into the 1st Feb...........anyone know when J & H will annouce the winner?

If it is anything like the last contest that I entered, the results were not announced for a few days AFTER the deadline. Good luck

Oh no really gosh the not knowing and waiting is killing me. Thanks for letting me know, I will have no nails left.

niknipscakes - We are behind you in reference to the time zone difference. It is Saturday, Jan. 31st here in the states, between 6am and 10am depending where you live. We still have a whole day to vote yet. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news!

You kidding me oh no I was looking forwar to knowing possibly tonight ..now another whole day .....thankx for letting me know that.

Im sorry to say, but it could be a week, or more, before we know. The Halloween contest was more then two week before we found out the winner. But, I think it was only several day before we found out the cupcake winner.

Results are in your inboxes in the newsletter! That was FAST!
Im not sure how to attach though :/

I was happy to see that two of the cakes that I gave 5 star ratings were selected! I had previously selected them as favorites, too. I must have good taste! Seriously, I am so new it is ridiculous! There were some very lovely cakes. The problem for me is that I kept seeing the same cake over and over. I think with a few exceptions every other cake was a castle, a barbie dress, or a Disney princess cake. And not that those cakes aren't great. It's just that none of them were particularly spectacular. They were very nice and far better than what I could do. But only a few really stood out. Which is probably why not one in those three categories won.

I looked at probably 75% of the entries. I was amazed at some of the talent. It makes me curious about the ratio of professional decorators and home decorators to hobby decorators. I am not interested in creating a business out of my basement or opening a store. I just want to make cakes and cupcakes that make my co-workers and family say "oooo" and "ahhhh". I am not sure I will ever be as good as some of the entries, but I loved looking at all of them.
