Over 50 cakes and I'd say over 80% of them required more than just a few hours to make. just wow! I never seen such a dedication for any contest before. All 38 beta keys being given away to fansites should be given to this thread in my opinion.

I just want to wish all my competition great luck and I hope you all had fun making these.

Is this thing completely edible?? wow that's very impressive.

There are so many amazing submissions, I wouldn't want to have to pick three winners from so many awesome cakes... I really can't believe how hard everyone worked.

The buildings and stuff are made out of gum paste, the "dirt" is crushed nilla wafers, the water and blue goo is piping gel, and then of course 2 cakes for the cliffs covered in fondent and everything is painted with icing colors used to color frosting and such.

Lyll was also worried that she'd be criticized as only having 2 posts (the other also being a contest entry) I told her that her join date should matter more than her post count. Plus I assure everyone that, altho she doesn't partake in posting, shes been a frequent visitor of this site for a long time, and a pretty dedicated fan. And other than NeverGG, is the only person I know bold enough to say that she can tell the difference between Luxury and Yarnc. (she says one has rosier cheeks, whatever.)

Cake contest is open to anyone, post count does not matter at all

EDIT: OK I think all cakes are in the thread now :O

Here is my cake. There are images of the process at my imageshack http://www.imageshack.us/user/ancestralbw

Thanks to my brother, sister, her boyfriend, and her friends Shaun and Katie for the artistic and culinary abilities too!

Obviously we're cutting it close and spent three nights up all night ... hope you enjoy!

It is based on this

The figures are made out of fondant. The armor, kerrigans wings, and warp blade are made out of airheads, and the jewels on Zeratul are Dumb Dumb suckers. Kerrigan's hair is black licorice. The cake is just a plain vanilla cake. The lettering is also done in fondant, made larger than the original portrait because it was not easy to cut such small letters -_-

Edit: Mods, note the latest update is more recent than 18:00, but the image was in the post before the deadline.

Epic cake Kenton :D

Those hatchery cakes are all pretty good. I wonder how all the cakes taste. I bet the ugliest cake is the best tasting.

Yeah, so many of these cakes are just gorgeous, I'd almost hate to eat them. They seem more like edible works of art, especially with the Kerrigan cake, the Marine cake by Vedic and his wife, and Vincze01's hatchery cake. With so many great entries, I think at least the top ten should definitely get little Cake icons for their hard work and time.

As for picking the three winners...yeah, I'm glad I'm not a staff member.

Some of those doesn't look too tasty tho I have to admit.

Great effort from all!

Yes, I'd have to admit, mine is 100% edible but I wouldn't. Fondant icing / air heads / chocolate icing / vanilla cake / black licorice / tons and tons of food coloring a delicious cake does not make.

Oh wow this is such an accumulation of awesomeness here.
Moreover when you look through the posts you realize that sc2 has marzipan graphics.

Yeah ... that early game zerg base out of Marzipan honestly looks like SC2 graphics from a glance.

And as everyone as said ... so many amazing submissions. I worked really hard on mine, as well as several friends (and siblings) who did, and I'm proud of it, but so many of these are just w*A*w

Good job guys! I'm glad to see so many people are so dedicated.

Not only do I think that TL has a baking team now but we better sweep the christmas baking competition that Blizzard has every year. Imagine if we all combined our techniques into a single guide in advance of the official Blizzard competition.
