:) I understand your confusion. When someone comments on a forum, it moves it up to the top of the discussions que, so it looks current. We should probably just delete these as we're done with each contest. Sorry about that!!<br></br><br></br><cite>Dawn Becker said:</cite>

Dawn - what are you looking for? The Figure Piping Contest is over, and we've moved on to the Gumpaste Flowers contest, so that's what's in the Featured Photos section. I hope that clears things up?

Yes I understand I was just curious. This was the first contest I entered. I know there was confusion about the actual criteria for a piped figure. I knew that much but not being part of a contest before wanted to understand the process. Thanks for your reply!

<p>Hi Melissa - The top ten were the ones that were up for about a week - just those 10. They were the ones the judges were looking at. Your frogs and ladybug cake was definitely in the top ten. The ultimate winners were selected by a panel of guest judges, independent of the favorites votes. (Many times the judges are professional, well-known cake decorators - we keep their names confidential).</p>

<p>The reason we had to go to this method was some people were "cheating" by having friends and family sign up as members on the site, solely to vote for their cakes and we ended up with cakes winning based on nothing but who had more friends rather than talent or merit. I hope you understand.</p> How do we know who was in the…tag:cakeswebake.com,2011-03-04:4635016:Comment:2521642011-03-04T00:25:06.812ZMelissa Lintonhttps://cakeswebake.com/profile/MelissaLinton
How do we know who was in the top ten? My cake had some of the most favorite votes and was just a little confused by the results. My goal isn't to take away from the winners would just like some clairification?

And to add just a little bit more - when it came to the top 20 or so - there were many cakes that had more favorites than the top 10, but they didn't have any piped figures on them, so the moderators made the executive decision to eliminate them from the top 10 since they didn't fit the criteria of the contest.

And just to add a bit.... there were some people who were coming on here just to enter the contests and would invite everyone and their dog to join to just vote for them.... which in the end just became a contest to see who could get the most friends to vote for their cake not a true representation of who's cake was truly the best cake in the contest.

And just to add a bit.... there were some people who were coming on here just to enter the contests and would invite everyone and their dog to join to just vote for them.... which in the end just became a contest to see who could get the most friends to vote for their cake not a true representation of who's cake was truly the best cake in the contest. So our moderators came up with the new rules that the favorites voting determines the top 10 and then the moderators and some other professionals determine who the final winners are. I think they have done a good job so far... now off to see the winners of this contest... Have not been to the photo section yet tonight. I know which were my favorites!!!
