Threadless Cake Contest! Win A 12 Club + Gift Certificates! Eat Cake!

Hey kids! Long time, no blog!

I've been fiendishly busy, but wanted to post up another contest for the hell of it.

This one involves cake. (EDIT: YES, you can send multiple cakes! Keep them in separate emails, and note that you can only win one prize!)

Bake a cake decorated around your favorite Threadless design and send us the pics and you can win a 12 Club membership, a pile of junk from the Threadless junk drawer, or some gift certificates.

Threadless was kind enough to sponsor a few prizes for this one, including the 12 Club and their bundle of junk from the Threadless fun drawer. Which sounds cool enough that *I* want it.

Check out the deets here, or just chatter in this post about your love of all things cake.

Mmm, cake.

EDIT: Check out the new Threadcakes.com cake gallery for this contest!

Cake is better than pie. Carrot cake especially! Who would have know a vegetable would taste so good baked in a cake. It's preposterous, but damn yummy. Will get my cake tin out and try and whip something up!

disillusioned on Apr 06 '07 at 5:47am

Hehe!

Mmm, carrot cake. Actually, I like carrot bread better. They have fantastic carrot bread at Mimi's.

How sad is it that I own www.pancakeseverywhere.com ?

I love cake in *all* forms. Mmm, cake. Cake cake cake cake cake.

hannabear on Apr 06 '07 at 6:15am

mmm cake! too bad i don't have an oven here. :(

squeegebeckenheim on Apr 06 '07 at 6:19am

OMG THIS IS SO AWESOME!

angelito on Apr 06 '07 at 6:20am

You know, I was planning on baking a cake tomorrow! And instead of doing my usual:

Maybe I could do this instead :D

Vindemiatrix on Apr 06 '07 at 6:33am

Hee! I thought this would be the anti-diet competition. :P

Hmm, after the cake iced to look like Roxy Epoxy, a Threadless cake shouldn't be too hard...

20th April, though? I move for allowing more time!

stunt double on Apr 06 '07 at 6:41am

ha, sounds fun!

disillusioned on Apr 06 '07 at 7:00am

Vindemiatrix-- I'm *TOTALLY* open to extending the deadline.
I've been going back and forth over three weeks and two. I think I'll make it three. :-)

Angelito, that's gorgeous! Are those poppies?

(Oh, man, this could be very, very cool.)

Vindemiatrix on Apr 06 '07 at 7:02am

YAY! :)

disillusioned on Apr 06 '07 at 7:18am

Vinde,

This of course means you're now beholden to deliver a cake entry!

I'm excited to see what you guys come up with. Remember, you can break out past a simple frosting-on-sheet design, and just have fun with it.

Woo cake!

lemonalle on Apr 06 '07 at 8:08am

FANTASTIC

cassiepaige on Apr 06 '07 at 8:16am

YAY!

I love the cake competitions on the Food Network Channel, and my cousin and I do cake decorating contests for fun sometimes. Yeee haw!

flourpower on Apr 06 '07 at 9:38am

hmmm maybe I'll do this...if only I could decorate the passover brownies I'm making today...too bad I'm a terrible baker!

tracerbullet on Apr 06 '07 at 9:54am

aw man, i suck at baking cakes. i can make a mean peanut butter cookie, though.

lemonalle on Apr 06 '07 at 10:17am

Just make a giant cookie, Brian!

margolove on Apr 06 '07 at 10:23am

OH MY GOD I LOVE BAKING THINGS!!!

:D

Khol on Apr 06 '07 at 11:37am

Oh man, oh man. I am so gonna do this!

(Is there a rule as to how many cakes we can make - multiple entries?)

hannabear on Apr 06 '07 at 11:40am

someone buy me an easy bake oven please!

valorandvellum on Apr 06 '07 at 11:42am

Cool! This will be a fun one to watch.

chelly on Apr 06 '07 at 11:52am

the cake won't be the trick so much as the frosting methinks

how exciting

juliejeremiah on Apr 06 '07 at 12:01pm

Let's make this a cake eating contest instead.

cassiepaige on Apr 06 '07 at 12:04pm

I think I need to start making some fondant so I can make sure I know how to do it right. Also, I need to make a trip to the craft store. :)

Who else has been browsing through all of the shirts trying to pick out designs?

Answerthatandstayfashionable on Apr 06 '07 at 12:05pm

DAMNIT! Hadley's gonna win this one!

cassiepaige on Apr 06 '07 at 12:19pm

Perhaps not. Perhaps someone else will.

amaliaslash on Apr 06 '07 at 12:24pm

wow, this is an awesome contest. but yeah...hadley's got the mad skills. i don't know if i want to compete now! haha.

amaliaslash on Apr 06 '07 at 12:25pm

blonde- it says to keep each entry separate if you do multiple ones.

CheesecakeBree on Apr 06 '07 at 12:26pm

juliejeremiah on Apr 06 '07 at 12:01pm

I told Chris that the cake entries should be *sent* to us and we'd eat them to judge. But unfortunately the logistics of that are too complicated. ;)

disillusioned on Apr 06 '07 at 7:00am
Angelito, that's gorgeous! Are those poppies?

I think they are lilies.

sonmi on Apr 06 '07 at 12:31pm

ohh, i think i might try this! i've never tried to make an artistic cake before...

disillusioned on Apr 06 '07 at 1:45pm

Yes, kids, multiples are okay, I say with some pause. (Please send multiple entries as separate emails.)

Note that you can only win one prize per person. So if you happen to be a cake wizard, I'm not giving all three/four prizes to you! :-)

(It's becoming a very real possibility that I will be inundated with cakes. Everywhere. Not that it'd be a terrible way to die. Suffocated by cakes...)

valorandvellum on Apr 06 '07 at 2:24pm

This really looks like a blast. I'm quite tempted to do it. Maybe I could use marzipan and food coloring! oooOOOooo...

foolioiglesias on Apr 06 '07 at 2:39pm

I'm in!

Rachel Ray Gun on Apr 06 '07 at 2:42pm

I made a The Cheat cake once. I don't have any photos anymore though. :(

foolioiglesias on Apr 06 '07 at 2:47pm

I made you a tom burns cake, but I eated it.

CheesecakeBree on Apr 06 '07 at 3:06pm

I'm so hungry for cake now... I can't image what sorts of cravings I'll develop once we start getting entries. This contest is going to be torture on me!

CheesecakeBree on Apr 06 '07 at 3:06pm

* I can't imagine

valorandvellum on Apr 06 '07 at 3:12pm

I'm going through some people's stuff just to see what's feasible for my cake decorating skillz... I'm excited for this!

angelito on Apr 06 '07 at 3:50pm

Whoops, sorry, I went to bed!

disillusioned on Apr 06 '07 at 7:00am
Angelito, that's gorgeous! Are those poppies?

I think they were some kind of breed of Lily, they were just from my garden.... and alas, non-edible...

FourtyFour on Apr 06 '07 at 5:17pm

im excited, im gunna design mine tonight.

FourtyFour on Apr 06 '07 at 5:17pm

WAIT, HOW MANY CAN WE DO?!

cassiepaige on Apr 06 '07 at 5:29pm

Who is /are the judge(s) going to be?

disillusioned on Apr 06 '07 at 6:31pm

Me and Bree will be judging.

You can do as many as you want, but you can only win ONE prize per person.

(All this is in the LT post, btw, though tend to ramble a bit.)

disillusioned on Apr 06 '07 at 8:07pm

I'll post here when I receive the first entries, I'm sure.

I can't wait. :-)

CheesecakeBree on Apr 06 '07 at 10:12pm

I hope somebody does a cheesecake. Speaking of which, I'm not above taking cake bribes. -hint hint-

J-Ray on Apr 06 '07 at 10:13pm

so Breeee.... what's your mailing address? lol

disillusioned on Apr 06 '07 at 10:15pm

Oh man! Cake bribes!!

I'm gonna see about Threadless perhaps featuring the winner on the site... Which would be pretty cool, if the cakes are tres impressive and tasty looking, as I can only imagine they will be.

BrandonB11 on Apr 06 '07 at 10:19pm

i think my girlfriend and i will give this a shot... sounds like fun

hxcassandra on Apr 06 '07 at 10:23pm

can we just send in a picture of john mccrea?

valorandvellum on Apr 06 '07 at 11:37pm

They should put the winning cakes in the product pics!! Ha!!
