Can photos still be posted today? (Friday) or is it to late.

Thanks

Yes, photos can still be submitted today, Sandy.  I think the posting is allowed until  midnight PST (U.S. Pacific Standard Time).  Good Luck!

It is my understanding that figure piping is a 3-D character piped in icing, usually, but not always, done with a variety of straight writing tips, not a flow-in or starred-in flat pattern done on a cake.

Technically, "piped figures" are 3-Dimensional figures piped onto a cake using royal icing or buttercream, and not a flat character.  We have included all cakes in the featured section that have the words "Figure Piping Contest" in them, but hope those voting will remember what a true piped figure is when placing their votes.  Our panel of professional judges will decide the ultimate winners, so we're hoping the voting reflects an understanding of the criteria for the contest.  Hopefully the next contest will be more straightforward! :)
