jj, does this include self taught decorators? Never had any lessons my whole life except for what I have read, saw on videos, watched on TV.  I will upload my picture and hopefully, it will pass. If this is not acceptable, I will just have to make a cake! (I'm hungry for cake anyway!)

That's a very nice cake, but I do need two pictures for the contest.
