Both me and Em have our hands/arms positioned weird... The lighting doesn't help either because I actually have my arm curved inward but you can't really see it.

I mean her arms are huge in the picture :p

AITheCake you dont need to worry about more pictures. We just don't want to see like 1 pic of "oh hai heres my finished cake" and we have no idea where it came from etc. Looks good, glglgl!

I believe we all must remember to follow the cardinal rule when baking a pretty cake.

it is really not fair if the previous cakes are included. That's choosing the competition such that the winners are already decided (almost). you cannot chose a competition where people already have a huge head start and expect it to be fair. That is like choosing the competition to be "LT staff lookalikes" and all the TL staff are allowed to enter.

It was said that any cakes in the Tl-bake off(cough what happened ?cough) could be used here I personally don't see anything wrong with the inclusion of your cake.

It's actually our fault the first TL-Bake Off didn't ever finish

We thought this would be started sooner than it was.

And yes, all cakes from that contest (with a starcraft theme) are allowed to enter.

I don't think any of the cakes for that contest took 2 weeks to make.. So maybe it's slightly unfair but not very.

We didn't want to host a cake contest RIGHT after the last one and then have to say "lol you can't enter, come up with something new!!" (especially as we initially had plans to start this *weeks* ago).

Airmailing me the cakes will significantly increase your chances of winning! Or maybe decrease them as the cake would go sour during transport.

On a more serious note, no, we have no way of judging taste so don't worry about it ^^

I agree.

Allowing previously made cakes would only help the new competitors since they already have certain standards imposed.

by the way, the tank cake is just awesome!

I guess the head start he was referring to was their clearly advanced cake baking skillz.

It might not be fair if the previous cakes were from years ago or something, but given that the bake-off apparently happened right before... there's nothing really analogous to the staff situation.

1) The winners aren't already decided; there's probably going to be a lot more people submitting cakes, especially since the Bake Off didn't have a giant "WANT STARCRAFT 2!?" plastered across the front page, and a bunch of the entries there weren't Starcraft related anyways.

2) It's not actually a huge head start. For one, they didn't intend to be like "hey, I'll submit this in 4 weeks for the SC2 competition!" when they made it, since they didn't know about it. Also, they're DONE the cakes. That is to say, in the end, those cakes were made in the same amount of time as the ones for this competition. If Person A spends 8 hours making a cake today, and person B spends 8 hours on June 12 making a cake, neither of them really had a "head start". The only difference between a shorter and longer time period for the contest is either more time for brainstorming (which doesn't affect things AS much), or more time to potentially bake another cake. Each individual cake submission isn't necessarily affected by the length of the contest or who started when.

3) Even if you disregard all of that, it's still a huge advantage for us because we get to see what the previous standards are. Like, we know what we're up against when we make our cake.

That's such an unbelievable benefit that I want to kiss someone on the TL staff but I won't.
